Law enforcement officials say the arrest was made possible by the overwhelming response from the community. The Attorney General\u2019s tipline received 30 different calls offering leads on Ray\u2019s possible whereabouts.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement, Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond thanked those who provided information and highlighted the importance of public involvement in solving such cases. &#8220;The list is aimed at enlisting the help of Oklahomans so these individuals can face accountability for their alleged crimes,&#8221; Drummond said.<\/p>\n<p>Ray\u2019s arrest is a significant development in a case that has remained unresolved for nearly eight years. Authorities believe his capture brings the victim one step closer to justice. The case is part of the ongoing efforts by the Attorney General\u2019s office to apprehend individuals with serious criminal charges.<\/p>\n<p>Ray now faces charges related to the 2017 incident, and his capture serves as a reminder of the critical role the public plays in assisting law enforcement in their efforts to hold criminals accountable.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lawton, OK \u2013 Donovan Ray, a man wanted in connection with the 2017 rape of a 12-year-old girl, was arrested earlier this month following multiple tips from the public.
