During the investigation officers developed sufficient information to indicate a sexual abuse incident had occured at 615 South 15th Street in Fort Dodge with Bailey named as a person of interest.
A follow up investigation was conducted Monday in coordination with the Webster County Attorney’s Office. This developement led officers to obtain an arrest warrant for Bailey. He was being held today in the Webster County Jail in Fort Dodge.
