PINEDALE, Wyo. (AP) – The father and son accused of luring a woman and her four teenage daughters to a Utah house and tying them up are both in custody in Wyoming.

Late Saturday night, law officers arrested 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 variety of charges the men face include aggravated kidnapping and possession of a controlled substance.

Sublette County Sheriff’s Office said that shortly after 10 p.m. MDT, the younger Harrison was arrested without incident in the Half Moon Lake area of western Wyoming and booked into the county jail.

His father had turned himself in earlier in the day and had been helping authorities find his son, officials said.
