HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A local man has been formally charged with several charges including possession of methamphetamine with intent to sell.

But, Jesus Valtierra Jr. is also charged with burglary of a dwelling, felony theft, criminal damage to property, possession of drug paraphernalia with intent to distribute and possession of marijuana with two or more prior convictions. The crimes occurred on July 31.

He stated in court that he was at a residence where the drugs were found, but that nothing was found on him. He didn’t understand why he was charged.

He asked for relief from his $49,000 bond. Valtierra was denied any relief in part because he also faces a probation violation in two other cases, including one from 2015.
