HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A 23-year-old Arlington man is jailed on a bond of $13,250 on several charges including aggravated battery.

Travis McWilliam was arrested in the 100 block of South Maple in Arlington just around 6:30 p.m.

Reno County Sheriff Deputies received a report of a vehicle with no lights driving in Arlington pulling a trailer. Apparently parts from a lawn mower were falling from the trailer. They spotted the vehicle at a restaurant and made contact. McWilliam told officers that he wasn’t driving because he didn’t have a valid driver’s license. Later they see him get in the vehicle and drive away. They attempted to make a traffic stop when he sped up, eventually crashing into the back of a pickup when he tried to turn on Maple. McWilliam is then alleged to have walked away from the vehicle. Deputies were able to take him into custody.

There was a juvenile female in the vehicle who was reported as a runaway from Wichita. She suffered some minor injuries and was treated at the scene by Reno County EMS. She also told deputies she was in fear of her safety.

Other possible charges against McWilliam include interference with law enforcement, child endangerment, reckless driving, leaving the scene of an accident and driving while suspended.

His request for a bond reduction was denied when he appeared in court Wednesday morning. He’ll be back in court on Nov. 12.
