A 27-year-old Hutchinson man who had been released from Community Corrections in September of last year on a drug conviction is back in jail on for possession of drugs.
Dustin Harper told the judge that he has a drug problem and is attending treatment daily. But, both the state and the judge agreed that his treatment must not be working.
Harper was arrested for possession of methamphetamine, possession of oxycodone, his third conviction, possession of drug paraphernalia, DUI, felony obstruction no tax stamp and no proof of liability insurance. The judge refused to lower the 35-thousand, 600-dollar bond.
He had been on corrections for possession of drugs for a case in July of 2010.
He should be back in court Wednesday for a status hearing.
