The vehicle license and description of the suspect was given to MACC dispatch and shared with responding officers. Due to maintenance on the computer system at MACC, the request was delayed, but a workaround by MACC staff yielded the necessary information.

Trumble was called out of the residence and arrested without further incident at about 10:40.

“Great work by MACC dispatch to find a work around so quickly,” he wrote in the statement.
