The Hays Police Department has made an arrest in connection with multiple crimes in Hays.

Lt. Brandon Wright of the Hays Police Department told Hays Post that 39-year-old Richard Eugene Hubbard Jr. has been arrested for six counts of theft by deception for giving worthless checks at a retailer in the 3300 block of Vine St.

Wright says that additional information gathered at the time of arrest warranted eight additional cases to be opened against Hubbard.

Wright was not able to discuss the nature of those additional cases as they are under investigation, but he did say that additional charges could be added at a later date.
