RILEY COUNTY – Today, the Kansas Bureau of Investigation (KBI) and the Riley County Police Department arrested a Topeka man who arranged to meet minors for sexual acts.
On Oct. 7, at around 9:30 a.m., KBI agents conducted a search warrant at 2250 SW Ancaster Road, in Topeka. Mark W. Reutzel, 61, was arrested at around 10:50 a.m., for two counts of electronic solicitation for enticing a person whom he believed was a child to engage in unlawful sexual acts.
