The Leitchfield Police Department and Grayson County Sheriff’s Office have captured one of Grayson County’s Most Wanted.
On Saturday night at approximately 11:30, Grayson County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Fred Norder and Deputy Brandon Rafferty, along with Leitchfield PD Detective Kevin Smith and Officers Keith Harrell and Joe Overton, arrived at a South Broadway Street residence looking for 29-year-old Rocko M. Wilson, of Leitchfield.
Wilson was wanted on multiple charges, including fleeing or evading police and resisting arrested. He was previously arrested in July 2018 for carrying a concealed weapon.
Authorities surrounded the home and soon spotted Wilson sitting on a couch inside the residence. He was taken into custody without incident and lodged in the Grayson County Detention Center.
Wilson’s arrest marks the fifth of Grayson County’s Most Wanted arrested since the new list was released by the sheriff’s office in March. The other suspects arrested include:
- Less than two weeks after the Most Wanted list was released, Clarkson Police Chief Buck Meredith and Officer Blake Elmore arrested 24-year-old Jason K. Lee, of Clarkson.
- 36-year-old Virgle Reid, of Big Clifty, was arrested by Grayson Count Deputies Mark Newman and Brandon Rafferty, also only days after the release of the list.
- 42-year-old Tena Higdon, of Caneyville, was arrested in late March by Grayson County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Fred Norder and Deputy Mark Newman.
- On May 13, GC Deputies DJ Newton and Mark Newman arrested 38-year-old Brandy J. Lee, of Millwood.
