SOUTH HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Law enforcement authorities are investigating a crime against the Catholic Diocese of Wichita and have made an arrest.

Just after 11 a.m. Thursday, a detective with the Reno County Sheriff’s Office arrested Juan Gregorio Garza-Gonzalez, 51, of Wichita on a warrant issued by the Reno County District Court.

Detectives determined that money was missing from several different locations within the church totaling nearly $14,000.

The focus of the investigation became Father Juan Garza, who has been the priest at Our Lady of Guadalupe in South Hutchinson since June of 2018.

Father Garza has been released on a $2,500 bond. Officials have not scheduled a court date.
