HUTCHINSON, Kan. – While police were looking for a Hutchinson man who ran from a traffic stop, they discovered a home and garage that contained drug and drug paraphernalia.
Police came to a home and in particular a garage where they suspected a man who ran from the stop might be hiding.
Thirty-two-year-old Johnathon Carson was standing outside the garage and denied knowing whether anyone was inside.
Police allegedly found items consistent with drugs were found leading to a search of the garage and the home. Carson admitted that he had a shotgun inside the garage. They found the gun which was loaded with a modified barrel. They also found some digital scales and baggies with meth residue.
Potential charges include possession of methamphetamine, being a felon in possession of a firearm, criminal use of a weapon, possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.
In court, Carson asked for a bond reduction, however the state objected because of his convictions involving drugs including unlawfully manufacturing, possession of drugs and drug paraphernalia.
Magistrate Judge Cheryl Allen agreed and denied any reduction of the $11,000 bond. Carson will be back in court on March 22, for the reading of any formal charges.
Also arrested at the home was 24-year-old Bryson Pallen. He faces potential charges of possession of methamphetamine and possession of drug paraphernalia. His bond set at $7,500.
