(KAIR)--A 20-year-old Montana man, wanted in connection with a 13-year-old runaway girl, was arrested in Atchison Wednesday, taken into custody, in part, for rape.
According to a release from Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, his office, Tuesday night around 10:00, was "notified that the Phelps County, Missouri Sheriff's Department was looking for a 13 year old female who had been missing since Monday night. They had developed information that she was with a 20 year old suspect and they were believed to be in the Atchison area."
Atchison Police Officers began the search, locating the suspect's vehicle parked outside a local hotel. That led police to locate both the runaway, and the suspect-now identified as Osias Everson, of Deer Lodge, Montana-at the hotel.
Everson was arrested Wednesday on charges of rape and contributing to a child's misconduct. Once in custody, Everson was booked into the Atchison County Jail.
According to Wilson, the investigation continued through Tuesday night, continuing into Wednesday, jointly conducted by Atchison Police and the Phelps County Sheriff's Office.
