HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A 66-year-old man arrested last week after he allegedly held a Westar Energy employee against his will was scheduled for court Wednesday for the formal reading of any charges, however, those charges have not yet been filed.

Marc Miller faces potential charges of aggravated assault and kidnapping. The case is being prosecuted by Harvey County Attorney David Yoder, who agreed to act as a special prosecutor after the local DA’s office recused itself.

Miller allegedly held the victim, 61-year-old Brent Bunting, a Westar Energy employee, from leaving his home east of Hutchinson after Bunting replaced an electric meter at his home. He held him at bay with a shotgun, one of many guns that were apparently in the home.

Miller is free on bond and Magistrate Judge Cheryl Allen says she believes the case has been continued until April 7.
