FALLS CITY – The Richardson County Sheriff’s Office reports the arrest Monday of a Humboldt man on warrants from multiple jurisdictions.

The Facebook post says Devon Cooper, 31, was wanted on warrants from Gage, Nemaha and Johnson counties.

A warrant was issued in Johnson County on Nov. 18, when Cooper failed to appear on a 2018 burglary charge.

The sheriff’s office says he is suspected of a new possession charge.

Court records say Cooper failed to appear in Johnson County in August and again in September before he missed his preliminary hearing in November. He had been released on a $300 bond provision.
