GREAT BEND — Darrin D. Hirsh, the Kansas Highway Patrol Trooper based in Great Bend who was arrested two weeks ago, is back in jail.

The 37-year-old Hirsh was arrested Thursday, for violating a protection from abuse order connected to the previous arrest.

Two weeks ago, Hirsh was arrested on numerous felony charges, including aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and criminal threat stemming from a domestic dispute with his wife in 2013.

He was charged at the time with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, two counts of criminal threat, domestic battery, two counts of witness intimidation and two counts of violation of a restraining order.

He was released on a $50,000 bond but, according to the Barton County Sheriff’s Office, is back in custody.

Hirsh is set to appear in court on July 21.
