Man on the run for Kansas rape for nearly 5 years found, arrested in Missouri
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) – A man who had been wanted for a Kansas rape for nearly 5 years was taken into custody after he was found in Kansas City, Missouri.
Jackson County, Missouri, Circuit Court records filed on Wednesday, May 28, indicate that Mario Perez, 38, has been found and arrested in connection to 2020 rape charges filed in Kansas.
Wyandotte County, Kansas, District Court documents revealed that Perez was charged with rape and aggravated criminal sodomy for an incident that happened in November 2019. The charges were filed in August 2020, upon the completion of an investigation by the Kansas City, Kansas, Police Department.
Law enforcement officials noted that a warrant for Perez’s arrest was issued the same day charges were filed, however, he was not taken into custody until he was found in Kansas City, Missouri, nearly 5 years later.
A waiver of extradition was filed in Jackson County on Wednesday, and Perez was transported to the Wyandotte County Detention Facility, where he awaits a 9 a.m. court appearance on June 17.

Oklahoma Sooners defensive lineman trending toward out vs. Missouri
A pair of Oklahoma’s key defensive players are trending toward being unavailable for the Sooners’ Week 13 matchup with the Missouri Tigers.
For the second straight game, the Sooners’ defense will be without star pass rusher R Mason Thomas and cornerback Gentry Williams. Thomas was injured in the first quarter of Oklahoma’s win over Tennessee in Week 10. Williams has been battling shoulder issues for several seasons and is unlikely to play once again. He hasn’t played since Oklahoma’s win over South Carolina.
The Missouri Tigers received great news on Friday. It was reported by ESPN’s Pete Thamel that starting quarterback Beau Pribula was expected to be the starting quarterback for the Tigers on Saturday. That’s reflected in his absence from the Friday night availability report.
Pribula has far more experience than true freshman quarterback Matt Zollers and is a dual-threat option for the Tigers. The Sooners’ defense will face a greater challenge with Pribula running the offense. He hasn’t played since Missouri’s 17-10 loss to Vanderbilt back on October 25. How well his ankle holds up in game will be a key storyline to the game.
Here’s a look at the Friday night availability report ahead of Oklahoma-Missouri, which kicks off at 11 a.m. CT.
Oklahoma Sooners Availability Report
| Player | Position | Availability |
|---|---|---|
| Troy Everett | OL | Out |
| Jacob Sexton | OL | Out |
| Jake Taylor | OL | Out |
| Heath Ozaeta | OL | Out |
| Jovantae Barnes | RB | Out |
| Kendel Dolby | DB | Out |
| Gentry Williams | CB | Doubtful |
| R Mason Thomas | DL | Doubtful |
Missouri Tigers Availability Report
| Player | Position | Availability |
|---|---|---|
| Sam Horn | QB | Out |
| Blake Craig | K | Out |
| DeMarion Fowlkes | WR | Out |
