HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A 64-year-old man is jailed on a $21,750 bond after he allegedly fired a weapon at a home on Park Street Oct. 26.

William Lee Claypole faces potential charges of distributions of drugs, aggravated assault, criminal threat, two counts of possession of drug paraphernalia — one for distribution and the other for personal use — theft, and criminal discharge of a weapon.

He allegedly fired the weapon inside a home and made the person there feel threatened. She told police she came to the home looking for another woman and Claypole told her she wasn’t there. He told the woman to stop lying about him. She says she heard two men arguing and saw glass on the porch. He moved his hands behind his back and the woman feared he might have a gun. She started walking to her car when she heard a gunshot.

Police were called on the report of an armed subject. When they arrived, they made contact with Claypole. He said he only had a BB gun. However, officers found a .380 shell casing on the ground. That led to a search of the home. Officers found drugs, paraphernalia and two guns — one was reported stolen in McPherson.

Claypole has priors for attempted manufacture of methamphetamine, two convictions for unlawful possession of firearms, criminal damage, and aggravated burglary.

He will be back in court next week.
