Barely two weeks after he was sentenced for stealing items from the Lee Beran Recreation Center and less than a week after he was highlighted by Lyon County Crime Stoppers, John Paul Primeaux has been captured.
Crime Stoppers made the announcement Thursday after putting Primeaux on its Felony Friday list last week for the second time in under a month.
On July 20, Primeaux was sentenced to 12 months probation after pleading no contest in May to single counts of burglary and theft from the Rec Center back in March. Primeaux was supposed to be sentenced July 13 but failed to appear, went on the Felony Friday list and was captured soon afterward.
Primeaux’s sentence has an underlying 14-month prison term, but authorities have not said if the situations are connected. An arraignment hearing is currently on the docket for 1:15 pm Monday.
