According to Pettis County Sheriff Brad Anders:

Mid-Mo Drug Task Force Detective Kauffman and Pettis Co Deputies have worked on gathering intelligence for the past couple of weeks which led investigators to Johnson County, which is mentioned below, in search of these two fugitives. A lot of man hours were put into this investigation which resulted in a much appreciated assistance from our brothers and sisters in Johnson County and Warrensburg PD. Summers was taken into custody without incident while Kimbrell fled on foot only to be apprehended by Warrensburg PD K9 Negan. Kimbrell was transported to the hospital due to dog bite/apprehension. Good boy Negan on a solid apprehension! Kimbrell has been released from the hospital and will be transported to Pettis along with Summers, soon, for the filing of charges by Pettis County Prosecutor Phillip Sawyer. While the press release states he will be held in JoCo, he is being transported back to Pettis as I type this. Summers in being held for the time being but will be transferred to our custody soon.
