"Mr. Mikes was taken into custody this evening without incident and is being held pending an arraignment, which will take place at the 52-4 District Court tomorrow afternoon."
"I'd like to remind everyone that this remains an ongoing investigation. Also that the body of Patrick Mikes, Senior has not yet been recovered and his bicycle still remains missing."
