An altercation with a 44-year-old Hutchinson man at the courthouse had law enforcement scrambling and ended with him literally being carried to jail.

Jimmy Aston was being arrested after he caused a disturbance over what was thought to be fraudulent checks.

Its started when he was arrested earlier by a South Hutchinson Police Officer for failure to appear in a South Hutchinson case. The officer noticed at the time these unusual checks but didn’t do anything on the issue at that time. Aston bonded on that case, and was then seen upstairs on the third floor of the courthouse and seemed distraught. They called law enforcement to check his welfare and he was deemed okay.

Later he was spotted outside the courthouse where two sheriff deputies wanted to talk to him about checks he had that seemed unusual. He then became upset and ran inside the courthouse where he started yelling at workers in the treasure’s department that they were trying to kill him. They caught up with him and then the struggle began.

Hutchinson Police Detective Dean Harcrow who specializes in financial crimes cases was called to look at the checks and he thought they also appeared as fake. Later, a check with the bank showed they were good, in fact cashiers checks, but were for large amounts.

When Aston caused a disturbance in front of the treasures department, that caused law enforcement to respond including sort officers from the jail as well as other sheriff deputies and police.

Harcrow, sheriff deputies and police officers were able to get him on the floor where he struggled for sometime. Aston a very large man gave them a handful, but was eventually placed in cuffs carried to jail, literally. They also placed some type of netting over his head which is used to keep suspects from spitting.

Aston will face additional charges of obstruction of the legal process and disorderly conduct for the incident with a bond of 600-dollars.
