RILEY COUNTY —Law enforcement authorities are investigating a suspect on multiple charges after an arrest in Manhattan.
Just after 7:30p.m. Wednesday, a 65-year-old man reported a 41-year-old man stole his 2016 Ford F-250, according to the Riley County Police Department activity report.
Officers quickly found the suspect later identified as Theodore Ayton, Jr., of Manhattan and the truck in the 700 block of Yuma Street in Manhattan.
When officers attempted to make contact with Ayton, he ran but was taken into custody a short time later in the 700 block of Colorado Street.
Ayon also was found to have a suspended driver's license and was driving the stolen truck to the residence of an individual who had a no contact order issued against him.
Police arrested Ayton on requested charges of theft, interference with law enforcement, violation of a protection order, and driving while suspended. He remains confined in the Riley County Jail with a total bond of $10,000.
