Cleveland County's Top 10 list just got a little shorter. Deputies with the Cleveland County Sheriff's Office arrested a person from the agency's Top 10 Most Wanted list on Monday, the office announced. In a brief update describing the capture as happening "earlier today," the sheriff's office noted the arrest comes amid an ongoing effort to track down other wanted subjects. Officials said they will share more information through their official channels as the case develops.
What the sheriff's office posted
In a Facebook post, the Cleveland County Sheriff's Office confirmed deputies had apprehended "an individual from the CCSO Top 10 Most Wanted list" and said an official update is available in the CCSO mobile app under News, according to the Cleveland County Sheriff's Office. The post did not include the suspect's name or list the charges. The office said the app will carry any booking details or case updates once they are ready to be released, so anyone looking for specifics will need to keep an eye on those feeds.
Where to find the official update
The sheriff's official website provides download links for the CCSO mobile app on iOS and Android and notes that the app's News feed is used for real-time alerts and press releases, per the Cleveland County Sheriff's Office website. Residents who do not use the app can still check the sheriff's website for public releases and advisories. The site also lists ways to submit tips and contact investigators, which the office says are vital tools in fugitive investigations.
How Most Wanted captures happen locally
Most Wanted lists and tip lines have helped the sheriff's office and partner agencies locate suspects in previous cases, sometimes with assistance from regional task forces and the U.S. Marshals, according to local reporting. News 9 has documented instances where tips and interagency collaboration led to arrests, highlighting why the sheriff's office regularly urges public vigilance. Once arrests are made, those collaborations can move cases to prosecutors for potential charges and court filings.
How to report tips
Anyone with information about a person on the CCSO Most Wanted list is urged to use the CCSO app tip form, call the CCSO tip line at (405) 701-8870 or contact Crime Stoppers at (405) 701-8872, local outlets note, according to KOCO 5. Callers may remain anonymous, and officials say tips can be crucial in bringing wanted people into custody. The sheriff's Facebook post said the agency will publish further details about Monday's apprehension as they become available.
