Two face numerous charges for distribution of drugs

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Two people with warrants for distribution of drugs were arrested Sunday at a local motel.

Law enforcement received word that 41-year-old Misti Doyle was staying at the Sunflower Inn at 322 E. 4th. Officers learned that she was registered for two rooms. They knocked on the two doors, but no one answered. Authorities finally got the manager of the motel to open room 228 and found Doyle with Jacob Turner inside the room. They also found items consistent with the use of methamphetamine. Both were arrested for suspicion of being in possession of meth and drug paraphernalia.

Doyle had four warrants for cases involving the distribution of methamphetamine. They go back to July 25, Aug. 1, Aug. 8 and Aug. 23, 2019. Two of the cases were for selling the drugs within a thousand feet of a school. All of the cases included using a cellphone to make the drug transactions. One included a charge of conspiracy to distribute drugs. In one case, Doyle is charged with endangerment of a child. Her bonds totaled $337,000.

Turner was wanted for three cases involving the distribution of drugs. His cases go back to Aug. 1, Aug. 8 and Aug. 23. He is also charged in one case with selling drugs within a thousand feet of a school and endangerment of a child for selling drugs while a child was present. His bond was set at $220,000.

Neither asked for any relief from the bonds. Both will be back in court on the new charges on Sept. 19. The other cases will be scheduled for a hearing on Oct. 30.

Doyle has prior felonies out of Finney County.
