Hutch man arrested for kidnapping in domestic case

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A local man is jailed on a $102,000 bond on charges from a domestic case where the victim was battered, forced into a vehicle and not allowed to answer a door when police arrived. This occurred in Hutchinson just before 9 p.m. Tuesday.

Peter Hanson, 24, faces potential charges of kidnapping, domestic battery and interference with law enforcement.

Several witnesses reported to police that Hanson put a bear hug on the victim and forced her into a vehicle. He took her to an apartment where she was battered. Police arrived at the apartment and knocked on the door. He didn’t answer and wouldn’t allow her to answer the door either. According to statements made in court, he told her to act like she was asleep. Officers eventually forced their way in and arrested Hanson.

Ironically, there is a protection from abuse order against the victim in Colorado. Hanson is the victim in that case. Magistrate Judge Daniel Gilligan ordered a no contact order between the two until the case in Reno County is resolved.
