HUTCHINSON— Two Kansas teens arrested in Hutchinson last week appeared from the Reno County Jail Wednesday to hear the formal charges filed against them.

Jacob Rodriquez, 18, and Julio Cantu IV, 19, are both charged with six counts of auto burglary for allegedly breaking into vehicles throughout Hutchinson.

Cantu also faces charges of possession of marijuana. All of the crimes occurred around May 27.

Rodriquez has a bond of $15,000, but managed to convince Magistrate Judge Randy McEwen to lower it again. It’s now set at $2,500. He has very little criminal history, which was enough to convince the judge that it could be lowered, even though the state objected.

Cantu, with a substantial criminal history, has a bond of $42,000.
The cases against both men will now move to a waiver-status docket on July 7.
