HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A 32-year-old man failed to get his bond lowered Wednesday when he made a court appearance via video from the Reno County Correctional Facility.
Police were called to the 900 block of East 2nd on the report of a stolen vehicle. Samuel Lemen is accused of being in possession of the Silverado stolen out of Newton. According to police, he spray painted the fenders on the truck.
Lemen is also accused of using that truck in a theft case out of South Hutchinson. Police there are investigating the theft of a trailer and a criminal damage report. Officers have video of that trailer being stolen with a truck that matches the one found in Hutchinson.
His bond is set at $8,250 and he’ll be back in court on May 24. He’s also jailed for failing to appear in another case.
Lemen has prior convictions for aggravated assault and DUI going back to 2008 and 2009.
