UPDATE: Barton County Inmate Found Dead Identified

The Kansas Bureau of Investigation and the Barton County Sheriff’s Office are still investigating the death of a male inmate at the Barton County Detention Facility. As of Wednesday, the only additional information provided by the Sheriff’s Office was the name of the inmate.

Barton County Undersheriff Larry Holliday says that 37 year-old Christopher Michael Grimsley of Hoisington was found dead in a one-man cell Friday evening.

Additional details will be provided after results from an autopsy being conducted in Hays become available, but until that is done, no further information is being released.

The inmate had been booked into the facility on November 15th on charges from Hoisington.
