On Monday the Finney County Sheriff’s Office arrested a man and woman on suspicion of human trafficking. Deputies responded to an address in reference to a landlord-versus-tenant dispute. Officers found immigrants being housed at the residence for work.
The discovery prompted a human trafficking investigation. The investigation found occupants were from multiple countries and were not being paid or cared for properly. Search warrants found 16 people at different residences, some of whom were minors.
A 32-year-old male suspect was charged with Aggravated Human Trafficking of a minor under 14 and several other related Human Trafficking charges. A 38-year-old female suspect is also facing Aggravated Human Trafficking charges, plus a charge of Interference of a Law Enforcement Officer. The investigation is ongoing.
