Stacy Lee Drake, wanted in connection with homicides in Oklahoma and Alabama, was caught in Arkansas after a search that spanned multiple Southern states, authorities said.
Morrilton, Ark. â An Alabama man wanted in connection with homicides in Oklahoma and Alabama was apprehended Thursday in Arkansas after a search that spanned multiple Southern states, Arkansas State Police said. Stacy Lee Drake, 50, was taken into custody around 10 a.m. in a wooded area in Morrilton, state police said. He was apprehended 'without incident,' the agency said in a brief statement.
Arkansas authorities initially said Drake was wanted in three Oklahoma homicides, but OSBI spokesperson Hunter McKee said Thursday that Drake has been connected only to the two in the Gans area. 'We're still investigating what else the suspect might have been involved in,' McKee said, but he added that Drake was not wanted for any other Oklahoma slayings.
