Guymon Chief of Police Eddie Adamson commented on the case,” We are glad that we were able to find the suspect who committed this Armed Robbery here in Guymon but with all that we have found out about him and his crime spree the real question is how many other crimes has this person committed that we do not know about yet in Oklahoma as well as other states.”
