Authorities Seek Connor Schoneck for Kidnapping, Firearm Charges in Benton County

Micah Andrew Hines, a 22-year-old from Cottonwood, was arrested for multiple charges including kidnapping and voyeurism following an incident at Clarkdale Jerome School on March 24. Hines entered the school by jumping a fence, hid in a girls' bathroom, and attempted to record and grab a young girl before fleeing the scene. He was identified through surveillance footage and public tips, leading to his arrest later that day, where he confessed to the crimes. No students were harmed, and school officials confirmed that safety protocols were followed during the incident. The Clarkdale Police emphasized the importance of community cooperation in identifying Hines, while school district officials planned a meeting to address parent concerns regarding safety. Hines remains in custody as the investigation continues.
