Cody Ryan Stage, 31, is one of two suspects in a Nov. 4, 2020 capital murder of 50-year-old Donald Best.

Stage, who has a lengthy arrest record, was in jail on charges of capital murder and burglary of a building. However, in February, after posting a $1 million bond in Texas, he was able to cut off his ankle monitor and escape.
After his initial arrest, Stage told police he and an accomplice decided to rob Best instead of selling him a motorcycle.
Police said Stage claimed the robbery went bad and his accomplice shot Best. However, his accomplice reportedly told officers that Stage shot the man.
Stage said he only set it up and drove the car.
A female was also arrested in Guthrie for harboring a fugitive and possession of a controlled dangerous substance.
After a two hour standoff, a murder suspect was taken into custody on Guthrie’s east side on Sunday evening.
Members of the Special Response Team (SRT), compromised of officers with the Guthrie Police Department and Logan County Sheriff’s Office, setup a perimeter around 411 E. Harrison Ave. at around 7 p.m. A short time later, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol’s tactical team and the U.S. Marshals joined to assist.
Inside the home was a male and female. The male is a suspect in an out-of-state murder case.
Guthrie News Page has learned the male may have been hiding with a local female.
