Local law enforcement officers caught up with one man who was wanted for a warrant since November last year.
Tory Leon Fleeman, 38, of Golden, was charged with statutory sodomy in the first degree and endangering the welfare of a child on November 6, 2014. According to the affidavit of probable cause, Fleeman allegedly committed sexual acts with a 10 year-old girl in Golden. At the time of the charges, Fleeman’s whereabouts were unknown to authorities.
Fleeman also had failure to appear warrants related to five misdemeanor charges related to a drunk driving incident with two children, ages nine and ten, in the vehicle in October 2014.
After being featured as one of Barry County’s Most Wanted multiple times and seeking tips on the Barry County Sheriff’s Department’s Facebook page, a community tip regarding Fleeman’s location helped officers find him last week.
On Thursday, March 5, Officer Michael Moore with the Barry County Sheriff’s Department and Conservation Officer Daniel Shores arrested Fleeman at the Butterfield Stage Stop.
According to Major Leonard Collins, Chief Deputy with the Sheriff’s Department, “They received a tip that he was in the area. It took them awhile to locate him, but they finally did find him.”
Collins continued, “He had left the area and came back. We think he may have been living in Pierce City, but he was out of the area.”
Fleeman is currently being held in the Barry County Jail in lieu of a $150,500 cash-only bond. His arraignment was held on March 6, and a disposition hearing is scheduled for March 26 at 8:30 a.m. with Judge Robert Foulke.
