HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A woman whose husband was wanted on a parole violation was arrested Wednesday after she and her husband took a trip to Wichita, then came back to Hutchinson. Law enforcement and parole officers then made contact with Michelle and Kirk Surdi, who were staying in the Sunflower Inn.
A bottle containing methamphetamine was found in the room. Michelle Surdi also indicated that she had more meth inside her bra and elsewhere on her person. She was also reportedly in possession of a scale. Authorities found 59 grams of meth. It’s believed she may have purchased the drugs in Wichita.
Potential charges include distribution of methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia with the intent to distribute.
Her bond was set at $27,500. During a court appearance Thursday morning, she was denied a bond reduction. She should be back in court next week.
Kirk Surdi was arrested on the warrant for a parole violation for convictions including aggravated indecent liberties, burglary and theft for a case from Cowley County in 2012.
