HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A Hutchinson man wanted in both Reno and Saline counties was taken into custody after a stand off with Police.
According to Troy Hoover of the HPD, it all started around 5 a.m. when police were alerted that a man wanted by authorities was in a motel room at the Sunflower Inn on East 4th. Police went to the motel looking for Darrel Beachy who has a long list of past criminal history, and was wanted on several felony warrants. Police were not able to locate Beachy in the room, although the motel clerk insisted that there was someone in the room.
After checking back several times, police were able to determine that the room was occupied. Eventually, two people came out of the motel room and notified police that Beachy was in the bathroom. After a long period of negotiations, Beachy gave himself up just before noon. He was taken to Hutchinson Regional Medical Center after he notified police he was having some type of medical issues. Despite information that Beachy may be armed, no weapon was found in the motel room.
Beachy booked into jail once he left the hospital.
