Jacob Dylan Middlebrook, 35, and Layne McIntosh, 36, were arrested in Las Vegas on Saturday and remain in custody at the Clark County Detention Center as fugitives from Mohave County. Both appeared in Las Vegas Justice Court on Thursday and waived their right to an extradition hearing, according to court records.
Bullhead City police say the couple fatally stabbed Arron Christopher Warren, 29, a local transient and Level 2 sex offender, on Saturday morning. Warren's body was found on the side of Silver Creek Road after a motorist reported seeing a man there around 11:45 a.m.
Investigators determined Middlebrook and McIntosh, who were also transients in the area, had known Warren for months. Police said the couple "had expressed distaste for registered sex offenders and had planned the homicide in advance," including selecting a desert location to leave the body and measuring furniture large enough to conceal it.
Warren was convicted of attempted sexual conduct with a minor in 2022, according to a previous Bullhead City police post. In a Monday statement, the department cautioned that online sex offender information is shared as a public service and "should not be used to threaten, intimidate, harass or harm others."
