HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A local man who faces some serious charges after his arrest Friday made a first appearance in court Monday.

Curtis Linscheid faces potential charges of distribution of drugs, burglary, theft, possession of methamphetamine, possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, criminal use of weapons and driving while suspended.

Hutchinson police were called to the report of a burglary in the 1500 block of East 4th. When they arrived, officers were given a description of the vehicle and spotted it a short time later. They discovered that Linscheid was driving on a suspended license. He was arrested. Officers searched the vehicle he was driving and found two antique knives, a bag of meth, marijuana, scales, brass knuckles and a 22-caliber rifle.
