Poteau Police have located and arrested Vincent Alexander Mink, 24, on outstanding warrants for crimes involving minors.

MULDROW, Okla. — An Amber Alert for a missing Muldrow, Okla., girl was canceled after she was found safe but police were still searching for a suspect they believed to be involved.

On Monday, April 4, police say a 15-year-old girl at the center of an Amber Alert was dropped off at a motel in Poteau, Okla., in LeFlore County just after 5:30 p.m. After dropping her off, police say the suspect in question took off. The girl called her dad from the motel, who then called the police. 

Poteau officers picked up the teen and told 5NEWS that she was safe. 

According to Poteau Police, they received information that the possible suspect involved in the Amber Alert was in the 3100 Block of North Broadway.

Poteau Police responded to the area and located Vincent Alexander Mink, 24, of Bokoshe. Mink was arrested on outstanding warrants out of Tulsa County for Using Technology to Engage in Sexual Communication with a Minor and Indecent Exposure to a Child.

Police also say investigators from multiple agencies are continuing their work on the case. Mink will be facing additional charges.
