## Resource

A Minnesota man, Alec Jones, 34, has been arrested in Nebraska on charges including first-degree sexual assault of a child, witness tampering, and third-degree sexual assault of a child. He’s currently detained in Minnesota while authorities work to extradite him. This follows the arrests of Joseph Michael Thomas Bruce and Lindsey Kay Smith, both 39, also charged with child abuse, witness tampering, and being accessories to a felony. Both appeared in court Monday with $2 million bail set each. Police are still searching for one additional suspect in the case and are urging anyone with information to come forward. The community is reeling from the allegations, and authorities are calling for public cooperation to bring all involved to justice.
