Authorities sent out a news release saying they were searching for Sterling Steele and then sent another notice later in the morning with an update that Steele was located and arrested. They said he was captured in Boulder near the intersection of Jay Road and 28th Street.

A woman was with Steele in the car when he was arrested and is not facing charges.
