A former Clarkston resident who has been wanted in Asotin County since 2014 has been arrested in Florida.
According to a news release from the Asotin County Sheriff’s Office, 58-year-old Thomas “Gene” McDonald was apprehended in Cedar Key, Fla., on outstanding warrants from Asotin County.
Authorities say McDonald was wanted on charges of delivery of controlled substances to minors and rape of a child in the third degree.
According to the news release, an investigation into McDonald began in 2013, and it was discovered he allegedly was supplying cigarettes, drugs and alcohol to minors in exchange for cash or sexual favors.
In 2014, McDonald failed to appear in Asotin County court, fled the area and remained at large until being arrested Monday.
Law enforcement officials are still working on extradition details.
