CLINTON COUNTY, Ky. (WKRN) -- A wanted man was taken into custody Friday following a "nearly decade long and multi agency investigation," according to Clinton County officials.

The Clinton County Sheriff's Office said Antonio Raymundo Velasquez, a 56-year-old man living in Albany, had two active warrants for incest/forcible compulsion.

Authorities said an investigation by the Wayne County Sheriff's Office into a possible scam brought a deputy to Albany to verify a transaction at a local business. The Albany Police Department and Clinton County Sheriff's Office provided assistance, which led to a possible location for Velasquez.

Officials said all law enforcement personnel at the scene started following up with potential locations, adding that an officer from the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife even helped in the search.

According to authorities, Clinton County Sheriff Ricky Marcum and a deputy arrested Velasquez without further incident on Friday, May 30. Velasquez was reportedly held in the Clinton County Jail.

The Clinton County Sheriff's Office said Kentucky State Police started the investigation in 2016. However, no additional details have been released about the case or the circumstances surrounding the arrest.
