Jansen was arrested by Douglas County Sheriff's deputies on an unrelated charge of motor vehicle theft on Jan. 3. He remains in custody in the Douglas County Detention Facility where he is being held on the arrest warrant out of Arapahoe County and additional charges in Douglas County. 

"The investigator assigned to this case did an excellent job not only tracking down the stolen catalytic converters, which is extremely tough to do, but also remaining diligent in identifying and tracking down the suspect," said Arapahoe Sheriff Sgt. Matt Davis in a statement.
