Man who brought pellet rifle to City Hall formally charged

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Formal charges have been brought against a 60-year-old Hutchinson man who showed up at City Hall last week with what was thought to be an assault weapon.

Johnny Klassen was charged with disorderly conduct — a misdemeanor. He was also charged with possession of meth, marijuana and drug paraphernalia

Klassen was arrested last Thursday after city personnel called 911 and reported a man with what appeared to be an assault weapon. When officers arrived, they discovered Klassen left westbound on a bicycle. Authorities intercepted him and saw the gun slung over his shoulder. Officers ordered him to lay the gun down; he did.

Klassen was taken into custody.

He remains jailed on a $6,100 bond.
