HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The hearing for a Hutchinson man charged in a distribution and gun case is in recess, because the state wants to call a witness who may have seen 22–year-old Dallas Combs break into a home.

A tip to law enforcement for a man wanting to sell a handgun led to the search of an apartment on Aug. 21.

Once inside, officers found drugs including a bag of marijuana in a seller’s quantity, some guns and drug paraphernalia.

Combs and 21-year-old Rommie Jackson were arrested and suspected in the case.

Authorities apparently saw Combs leaving the apartment in the 100 block of East B and a search of his person indicated that he had drugs on him.

The hearing is scheduled to resume next month to give the state time to find this other witness.

Judge Joe McCarville did find that Combs violated his corrections in two other cases and will hear arguments of disposition on that next month.
