Federal authorities have arrested a Wyoming Highway Patrol trooper on a criminal complaint alleging the unlawful arrest and kidnapping of a person in January.
The U.S. Department of Justice issued a statement saying that trooper Franklin Joseph Ryle was arrested late Thursday in Douglas.
Ryle was scheduled to appear in federal court Friday afternoon in Casper.
Col. Sam Powell, administrator of the Wyoming Highway Patrol, confirms the arrest but declined comment on the investigation.
Powell says Ryle has been on paid administrative leave during the investigation.
No other information was immediately available.
