HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A 29-year-old man arrested last Saturday evening for distribution of drugs has been formally charged.

Terry Gant was arrested in the Walmart parking lot after an officer spotted him and knew he had warrants from Hutchinson police and the Reno County Sheriff’s Office.

A K-9 officer smelled the presence of drugs and a search of his vehicle led to the discovery of 15 small bags with a crystal substance that field tested for methamphetamine. The officer also found a scale, a grinder and marijuana.

Charges include distribution of methamphetamine, possession of marijuana with two or more priors, possession of drug paraphernalia with intent to distribute and for personal use.

Gant remains jailed on an $18,500 bond. He will be back in court next month.
