HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A 53-year-old man is jailed with a bond of $17,500 after he allegedly got into an altercation with law enforcement after a traffic stop in the 500 block of West 5th.

The incident occurred around 1:45 p.m. Monday after William Robertson was stopped by Hutchinson Police on traffic issues including driving while suspended. The incident apparently escalated when he allegedly pulled a knife in a threatening manner. Police demanded he drop it at least a couple of times and he finally threw it out the window.

Potential charges include aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, felony interference with law enforcement, possession of methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia.

He made a first appearance on the charges where his bond was left the same and the next scheduled court appearance will be next Tuesday.
