PINEDALE, Wyo. (AP) – A woman and her four teenage daughters who were lured to a Utah house and tied up in the basement were thrilled and relieved to learn the father and son charged in the bizarre attack were in custody in Wyoming, authorities said.

But despite their arrests, neither man was cooperating with investigators trying to learn more about what led up to the violence.

Officers culminated a manhunt late Saturday night with the arrest of Dereck James “DJ” Harrison, 22, several hours after the surrender of his father, Flint Wayne Harrison, 51, the Sublette County Sheriff’s Office said.

The men face various charges stemming from the Tuesday attack in Centerville, Utah, including aggravated kidnapping and possession of a controlled substance.

The sheriff’s office also said Sunday that the mother of the younger Harrison had been arrested in Sublette County.
