West Plains, MO. – The subject of recent online posts and a manhunt has been apprehended as of last night by local law enforcement.
The suspect is the much-spoken of Adam Bartlett Jr., who has been sought for over two weeks for various criminal actions and was the subject of a manhunt on October 4th, and multiple police chases in the past month.
At 9 p.m. on Thursday, October 19th, the Howell County Sheriff’s Office received information on the whereabouts of Bartlett. Knowing his history, SWAT was deployed to the location.
