Cole Brings Plenty allegedly a suspect in domestic violence situation
Cole Brings Plenty, 27, is an actor in his own right who has appeared in two episodes of the 'Yellowstone' spinoff '1923' as Pete Plenty Clouds. He studies media at Haskell Indian Nations University in Kansas.
According to 12News in Kansas, the 27-year-old celebrity is reportedly the subject of a police interview for a domestic abuse incident that happened in Lawrence, Kansas on Easter Sunday, March 31.
The Douglas County District Attorney received an affidavit from the Lawrence Police Department on Tuesday, April 2, afternoon requesting Cole's arrest.
According to the police department, they received distress calls about a woman who needed assistance at a Lawrence apartment.
Cole had left the site by the time the police arrived, and it was believed that he was driving south on Highway 59. He was last seen driving a 2005 Ford Explorer with the Kansas license plate 368PXB, per Entertainment Tonight.
"We've identified (Brings Plenty) as the suspect, have probable cause for his arrest, and issued an alert to area agencies," police informed 12News.

Cole's family filed a missing person's report and contacted the authorities to voice their concerns. Mo posted a missing person poster of Cole on his Instagram page on Tuesday, April 2.
According to Mo's post, Cole disappeared from Lawrence, Kansas, on March 31. Concerns arose after Cole failed to show up for a meeting with his agent regarding a TV show job, which the post describes as "uncharacteristic for him."
Due to the circumstances surrounding the alleged domestic abuse, law enforcement's ability to provide information is limited to protect the victim. As a result, no more information will be released at this time.
