HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A 31-year-old suspect arrested late last week on several charges made a first appearance in court Monday morning where he was told the potential charges.
Christopher J. Bertrand was arrested for aggravated battery–domestic violence, three counts of aggravated battery, felony criminal damage, two counts of endangering a child, as well as DUI.
Police say he entered his girlfriend’s residence. She asked him to leave because he’d been drinking. He entered a part of the house where she was with her two kids and a friend. They escaped out the back door and got into a vehicle to escape Bertrand.
He’s accused of ramming the vehicle numerous times, causing $2,000 in damage.
He is jailed on a $104,000 bond. He was denied a bond request and will be back in court next week
