HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A 24-year-old man was arrested after he allegedly ran from officers when they tried to arrest him for an outstanding warrant for theft.

But, Colton Viers is also listed as an absconder from community corrections for a drug conviction.

He’s alleged to have taken off when an officer approached him Wednesday afternoon. He had a backpack with him, which he dropped while fleeing the officers. It allegedly contained drugs and drug paraphernalia.

He allegedly ran into a home to escape the officers, except the home wasn’t his and the occupant of that home didn’t know him. He eventually put his hands up and was taken into custody when police arrived at that home.

Potential charges include aggravated burglary, possession of methamphetamine, possession of drug paraphernalia and felony interference.

Bond is set at $23,500 and he should be back in court next week.
