GREAT BEND, Kan. — The woman who was riding with David Madden the day he shot Rice County Undersheriff Chad Murphy has been arrested in Ellinwood. The Kansas Bureau of Investigation issued an arrest warrant for 27-year-old Erin M. Baker for crimes connected to the April 29 shooting.

Baker was arrested by Barton County Sheriff’s Office deputies at her residence for interference with a law enforcement officer, aggravated child endangerment and obstruction of apprehension.

The charges allege Baker put her 7-year-old child in danger in continuing a relationship with Madden, who she knew was a convicted felon who possessed a firearm, which culminated in the child being present when Madden shot the undersheriff. She is also accused of obstructing the investigation into the shootings of the undersheriff and Sheriff Bryant Evans, and the murder of Thomas Madden by leaving the scene and not attempting to notify authorities of the crimes that occurred.

Baker was booked into the Barton County Jail. The Rice County Attorney’s Office will prosecute the case.
