LAS VEGAS (KSNV) — Authorities say two people are in custody in Las Vegas for allegedly killing a transient sex offender in Arizona.

Jacob Middlebrook, 35, and his girlfriend Layne McIntosh, 36, were both listed as in custody at Clark County Detention Center as of Thursday morning.


The Bullhead City Police Department says Middlebrook and McIntosh were wanted for allegedly killing 29-year-old Arron Christopher Warren, a transient.

According to Bullhead City Police, a driver found Warren’s body on the side of a road on Nov. 7, and detectives determined he had been stabbed multiple times. Warren’s car was also missing.

Detectives identified a suspect, and Las Vegas Metropolitan Police found Warren’s car parked at a casino in neighboring Laughlin, Nevada. LVMPD took Middlebrook and McIntosh into custody on suspicion of second-degree homicide. Jail records indicate they are being held on out-of-state warrants.

In a statement posted to Facebook, police said the couple had known Warren for the past few months.

“Detectives discovered that the couple had expressed distaste for registered sex offenders and had planned the homicide in advance," the post reads. "The couple reportedly pre-determined the desert location where they intended to leave Warren’s body. They also reportedly measured furniture/beds that could be large enough to cover the victim’s body along the side of the road. Warren was a registered Level 2 sex offender."
