Arrest
On May 16, 1999, a Snowtown police patrol saw a Land Cruiser parked in a driveway, and during a license plate check realized this was a "vehicle of interest" for a missing person case. The police knocked on the door of the house and were told that the owner had left the vehicle after bringing barrels to a bank on the other side of the Snowtown railway tracks. The following morning, police officers let themselves into the bank and opened the vault. On May 21, police arrested Haydon, Bunting and Wagner for the murder of Elizabeth Haydon.

Famous quotes containing the word arrest:
“The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it is life. Since man is mortal, the only immortality possible for him is to leave something behind him that is immortal since it will always move. This is the artist’s way of scribbling “Kilroy was here” on the wall of the final and irrevocable oblivion through which he must someday pass.”
—William Faulkner (1897–1962)
“An unjust law is itself a species of violence. Arrest for its breach is more so.”
—Mohandas K. Gandhi (1869–1948)
“Let me arrest thy thoughts; wonder with me,
Why plowing, building, ruling and the rest,
Or most of those arts, whence our lives are blest,
By cursed Cain’s race invented be,
And blest Seth vexed us with Astronomie.”
—John Donne (c. 1572–1631)
