A Salina man being sought as a "person of interest" in connection with the disappearance of Kristin Tyler was arrested without incident Wednesday evening in an Abilene motel, a police department spokesman said Thursday.
Joel M. Heil, 24, an acquaintance of Tyler’s, was arrested on warrants for failure to appear in Saline County District Court and a probation violation. Heil failed to appear with his attorney in court Monday on charges of possession of methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia for incidents authorities allege occurred on April 7.
