Authorities have arrested 30-year-old David Manus who was wanted for allegedly enticing a child into his vehicle in Trenton.

The Trenton Missouri Police Department said Manus was taken into custody in Johnson County Kansas Thursday afternoon.  He was charged Wednesday in Grundy County with felonies for enticement of a child, sexual misconduct or attempt involving a child, and child kidnapping.  Law enforcement officials have been searching for Manus for nearly two days.

According to authorities on Tuesday Manus allegedly picked up a 9-year-old girl near a bus stop.  According to KTTN, court documents state that morning after coaxing the girl into his vehicle she was taken to the Missouri State Conservation grounds west of Trenton, where the man allegedly exposed his genitals to the child.  After she became upset he then reportedly took her to the Hodge Presbyterian Church driveway and let her out of the vehicle.

Manus is a registered sex offender.

According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol’s Sex Offender Registry, in 2003 Manus was convicted of first-degree statutory rape of a 13-year-old girl.  Manus was 18 at the time of the offense.

Manus will be extradited back to Grundy County to face the new charges.

Anyone with information into the current case is still asked to contact the Trenton Police Department at (660) 359-2121 or the Grundy County Sheriff’s Office at (660) 359-2828.
