Hutch man formally charged in kidnapping case

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A 31-year-old Hutchinson man with numerous convictions is in more trouble after a domestic case Aug. 22.

Arthur Pina Jr. is charged with aggravated kidnapping, aggravated domestic battery, possession of methamphetamine and felony interference.

Police were called to a Hutchinson home on the report of a disturbance and tried to make contact with Pina. He refused to open the door, so officers had to break a window to gain entry. Once inside, they found Pina on top of the victim. He refused to follow their commands and was eventually placed into custody.

According to the criminal complaint, he may have choked the victim at some point as he held her down.

With the criminal charges filed, Pina is expected back in court next month.
