Dylan Ray Robertson, a defendant featured on Clay County’s Top Ten Most Wanted list, was taken into custody June 8 after a short foot pursuit near East 85th Street and Prospect Avenue in Kansas City, according to authorities.

Robertson is charged with second-degree drug trafficking in State v. Robertson. This marks the fourth arrest since the launch of the county’s Top Ten Most Wanted initiative, an effort that offers a $3,000 anonymous reward for information leading to an arrest. The initiative was publicly announced in late May.

The arrest was carried out by the Missouri State Highway Patrol and the Kansas City Career Criminal Task Force. Officials said the apprehension followed continued investigative work and coordination among Greater Kansas City Crime Stoppers, the Clay County Sheriff’s Office, the Missouri State Highway Patrol and other local law enforcement partners.

Officials thanked community members who shared information related to the case, saying public cooperation remains an important part of helping law enforcement locate and apprehend alleged offenders. Robertson is currently being held at the Clay County Detention Center pending further court proceedings.
