On November 4, 2026, Haskell County Deputies responded to the 700th block of Osage Avenue in Satanta after receiving a report of a male suspect who came to a residence several times with a knife in hand asking for a ride. The reporting party advised the individual had left and was last seen traveling southbound on Santee Avenue. While enroute, deputies were advised that an additional 911 call received by Haskell County Dispatch stated the individual was attempting to break into a residence within the same vicinity of their last known location. While conducting foot patrol of the area, deputies contacted the initial witness who advised that “something was off” about the man’s composure, prompting the report. At this time, another report was received, requesting law enforcement at the 100th block of Otoe Avenue regarding the individual attempting to break into another house. Deputies responded to the second address and observed a brief video captured from a porch camera that showed the suspect’s mannerisms which appeared that they may have been under the influence of an unknown intoxicant. With the assistance of K-9 Havoc, deputies continued to search the area and later were advised that the suspect was now at Fran’s Lounge. With this information, deputies responded to the business and while attempting to enter its back door, discovered that it was locked. While additional law enforcement officers relocated to the front door, entry through the back became accessible and revealed the suspect, identified as Cole Sunderland, who was immediately taken into custody. Following his arrest, Sunderland was transported to Satanta District Hospital for medical clearance and later transported to the Haskell County Jail where he was booked and processed for the following:
• Kidnapping; In flight or the commission of any crime
• Criminal trespass; Remain in defiance of order by owner
• Interference with LEO; Conceal/alter/destroy evidence
• Disorderly conduct; Unknown circumstance
