HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A 36-year-old man was jailed early Sunday for interference with a law enforcement officer when he gave a false name to police.
However, David Hunter is also being held for four counts of forgery, theft by deception and mistreatment of a dependent adult.
He allegedly took at least four checks belonging to a 93-year-old woman who hired Homestead to handle her affairs after she had fallen and no longer wished to go out.
Hunter allegedly cashed the checks at Walmart and Tractor Supply. When he attempted to cash a check at a Central Bank and Trust location, police were called.
He asked to enter pleas in the case so he could go back to treatment for a drug addiction, but no formal charges have been filed. He then asked for a bond reduction. The judge set his total bond at $11,500.
He’ll be back in court next week.
