Kitty Hawk Police are thanking the Dare and Currituck County Sheriff’s Offices, along with the Kill Devil Hills and Nags Head Police Departments for helping with the search that resulted in Selby’s arrest.

Selby is currently being held in the Dare County Detention Center under a $425,000 secured bond. His first court appearance was Thursday morning.
