The suspect wanted in connection with a home invasion and robbery that occurred in Sallisaw on July 4 has been identified and taken into custody.
John R. Broomfield Jr., 39, of Hartman, Arkansas was arrested Thursday evening at approximately 6:30 p.m. in Russellville, Arkansas, according to Capt. Jeff Murray of the Sallisaw Police Dept.
