A man wanted in Indiana on charges of rape and kidnapping of a minor was arrested Tuesday in Simpson County after police reportedly spent hours searching for the man in a cornfield.

Kentucky State Police served Cody R. Medsker, 28, of New Castle, Indiana, with an arrest warrant charging him in Indiana with two counts of rape, two counts of child molestation, criminal confinement with bodily injury and burglary.

Medsker also faces several criminal charges in Simpson County stemming from law enforcement’s efforts to apprehend him.

According to KSP, troopers from KSP Post 3 received a request Tuesday morning from law enforcement in Indiana to locate Medsker, providing information to Kentucky troopers that a cellphone he was known to use was pinging off a cell tower near the 30-mile marker on Interstate 65.

KSP later received information that Medsker was in a 2016 Chevrolet Silverado and was in Simpson County near Exit 6 on I-65.

According to an arrest citation, agents with the South Central Kentucky Drug Task Force found the truck at One 9 Travel Center in Franklin and made contact with the driver.

KSP said it learned that Medsker fled from the business through the back of the building, and was seen running in the area by a number of officers.

Deputies from the Simpson County Sheriff’s Office and Franklin Police Department officers arrived to assist KSP and the drug task force.

An FPD officer soon saw Medsker running from a barn on Rapids Road and into a cornfield across the street, an arrest citation said.

“A total of 30 law enforcement officers surrounded the cornfield and began giving loud verbal commands via a PA system for Medsker to exit the field with his hands up,” Medsker’s arrest citation said.

Two KSP helicopters arrived to aid in the search for Medsker, and seven KSP troopers and a police dog entered the cornfield to try to find him, records show.

The search began at 10:49 a.m. Tuesday and Medsker was found at 2:17 p.m., according to the citation.

Police detained Medsker, who was later taken to The Medical Center in Franklin, where he was treated and released.

Medsker was booked in Simpson County Detention Center on seven counts of first-degree wanton endangerment (police officer), third-degree burglary, second-degree fleeing or evading police (on foot), resisting arrest and second-degree indecent exposure.
