Another of the county's "most wanted" suspects is behind bars.
Karen Maureen Wheeler, 29, was taken into custody Thursday at 3075 E. Tropicana Ave. Authorities said they were able to track the woman down after receiving a tip from an anonymous caller who recognized Wheeler after her photo was published in the local media.
Wheeler was wanted on two counts of burglary and three counts of forgery. Her photo appeared in the SUN Sept. 4
Wheeler's arrest brings the tally to 116 of 154 profiled suspects who have either been taken into custody or otherwise accounted for.
