HUTCHINSON, Kan. – A 47-year-old man was arrested early Wednesday morning in a domestic case made a first appearance in front of District Judge Trish Rose.

Howard White apparently got into an altercation with a family member who was apparently struck. Reportedly he was intoxicated and breaking things in the home according to statements made in court. Police were called to break things up.

When police arrived, he apparently was uncooperative with officers and is accused of kicking one officer in the knee multiple times while he was trying to take him into custody. That again based on statements in court.

Potential charges include battery – domestic violence, disorderly conduct, two counts of felony battery of a law enforcement officer and felony interference.

He did manage to get his bond lowered from over $11,000 to $5,000 and he’ll be back in court next week to see if the state has filed formal charges. He was ordered to have no contact with the victim in the domestic case.

The incident occurring around 2:30 a.m.
