HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A 37-year-old ex-con has been formally charged after an incident at a local motel.

Martin Alan Andes remains jailed for aggravated kidnapping, criminal threat, criminal possession of a firearm, possession of methamphetamine and two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

Hutchinson police officers were called to the Sunflower Inn on Feb. 12 for the report of an armed subject. Two employees at the motel told police they were threatened by Andes and that he put them in fear for their safety.

He also allegedly forced his girlfriend into a car at gunpoint and threatened to kill her and their 8-month-old child. He is accused of putting the gun to her head while making the threats.

During the incident, Andes also fired the gun in the air a couple of times.

His bond remains at $242,500. He will be back in court on March 20.
