Ruthven, IA — A Des Moines man wanted on multiple Polk County warrants was arrested Sunday afternoon in Ruthven.

Deputies with the Palo Alto County Sheriff’s Office took 45-year-old Rian Edward Risinger of Des Moines into custody without incident shortly after 3:15 p.m. in the 1600 block of Bruce Street.

Risinger was transported to the Palo Alto County Jail, where he is being held pending extradition to Polk County.
