A suspended Oklahoma cop was busted in Las Vegas with a missing California teen, authorities said.
Danniel Boone Morgan, 30, picked up the willing 15-year-old on Wednesday in the Modesto suburb of Turlock and fled south, according to Turlock police.
Investigators quickly identified Morgan as the lone suspect in the alleged abduction, sending out an alert warning he could be armed.
Las Vegas authorities captured Morgan early Thursday morning after a brief standoff in a motel room, the McAlester, Okla., News-Capital reported.
The teen, who was with Morgan, will soon be reunited with her family, Turlock police said.
The girl apparently knew the disgraced cop from living in Oklahoma and was moved to California to avoid him, the newspaper reported.
Morgan, who is friends with the girl on Facebook, was placed on administrative leave in Kiowa, Okla., according to California cops.
Police in Kiowa referred questions about the suspended officer to the city attorney, who didn’t respond to a request for comment.
