Judge takes motion to suppress in distribution case under advisement

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Reno County District Judge Trish Rose took under advisement the motion to suppress in a distribution of methamphetamine case from last year.

Christopher Krebbs was arrested after drug enforcement officers did surveillance on him on Jan. 10, 2018. They followed him to Wichita where he allegedly bought a large quantity of methamphetamine. Once back in Reno County, officers performed a traffic stop on K-96 at Worthington Road. They searched the vehicle and found a bundle of methamphetamine in the glove compartment, several burnt marijuana cigarettes, two glass pipes and a Taurus 40-caliber handgun. Total weight of the meth discovered was around one pound.

Krebbs who is charged with possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute and possession of marijuana, is now seeking to have all the evidence suppressed with their belief that law enforcement didn’t have probable cause for a traffic stop while he was coming back to Reno County.

Judge Rose told the two sides she would have a ruling on the motion within 10 days with the trial expected to begin on July 30.
