Hutch man bound over in two cases
HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A 36-year-old man jailed for suspicion of multiple counts of stalking and theft in one case and robbery and aggravated burglary in another was bound over for trial by Judge Joe McCarville.
Timothy Drumgould now faces trial for four counts of stalking and two misdemeanor counts of theft for allegedly stealing a cell phone and some keys. He allegedly had contact with the victim from an earlier case a number of times, violating the conditions of his bond. All of these crimes occurred on various dates in March.
The other case against Drumgould involves the same victim. In that case from Feb. 18, he’s charged with aggravated burglary and robbery. His bond had been set at $25,000 and, as a part of the bond, he was told to have no contact with the victim.
Bond now totals $130,000 and he’ll be arraigned on July 6.
Two teens formally charged in series of auto burglaries
HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The two teens arrested in the 8th & Plum area last week appeared from the Reno County Jail Wednesday to hear the formal charges filed against them.
Eighteen-year-old Jacob Rodriquez and 19-year-old Julio Cantu IV are both charged with six counts of auto burglary for allegedly breaking into vehicles around the city. Cantu also faces charges of possession of marijuana. All of the crimes occurred around May 27.
Rodriquez has a bond of $15,000, but managed to convince Magistrate Judge Randy McEwen to lower it again. It’s now set at $2,500. He has very little criminal history, which was enough to convince the judge that it could be lowered, even though the state objected.
Cantu, with a substantial criminal history, has a bond of $42,000.
The cases against both men will now move to a waiver-status docket on July 7.
Hutch man may enter plea in meth distribution case
HUTCHINSON, Kan. — One of two people arrested after a search warrant was served on a Hutchinson home may enter a plea in the case against him.
Bryan Buckwalter and Mandy Franklin are suspected of being in possession of methamphetamine with intent to sell within 1,000 feet of a school and possession of drug paraphernalia. The arrest happened after DEU agents served a search warrant at the couple’s home in the 1000 block of East 13th, where they reported finding meth, owe sheets, scales and other paraphernalia.
Buckwalter is scheduled to be before Judge Joe McCarville for the plea hearing on Thursday.
The case against Franklin is also pending.
