A Leonardville man is now being held in Riley County following an arrest KMAN first told you about March 10th in Arizona. Monday’s RCPD arrest activity report indicates that at approximately 8:15 AM John Thomas was arrested at the Riley County Police Department on a warrant for three counts of sexual exploitation of a child.
Thomas was taken into custody by the U.S. Marshals service in Chino Valley, Arizona earlier this month on the Riley County warrant. His bond was set at $500,000.
As announced a few weeks ago, federal authorities say Thomas had dramatically changed his appearance but still was identified and arrested without incident.
