Two Arrested after Fugitive Found Hiding in Attic

Authorities arrested a McCracken County man on several outstanding warrants, after he was found hiding in an attic Friday afternoon.

The McCracken County Sheriff's Office says detectives and deputy U.S. Marshals were searching for 36-year-old Nicholas Roesner, who was wanted on outstanding felony drug and bail jumping charges.

Detectives went to a home on Beyer Lane and saw Roesner inside. During a search of the home, Roesner was found hiding in the attic. 
Detectives said 28-year-old Dustin Gass knew Roesner was wanted and had allowed him to stay at the home.

Both Roesner and Gass were arrested. Roesner was charged with first degree bail jumping. Gass was charged with second degree hindering prosecution or apprehension.
