3 Kan. county employees face drug charges

COLUMBUS, Kan. (AP) — Three Cherokee County employees face felony drug charges.

The Cherokee County News-Advocate reports Candy Harris, of Columbus, is charged with distribution of a controlled substance within 1,000 feet of a school, possession of controlled substances with intent to distribute and using a communication device to arrange drug transactions.

Rebecca Dobyns, of Columbus, is charged with using a communication device to arrange a drug transaction. She and Harris work for the treasurer’s office. Kristin Seal, of Baxter Springs, works in the county’s noxious weed department and is charged with using a communication device to arrange drug transactions.

They’re released on bond.

Harris’s lawyer, Chris Meek, says she’s innocent. Seal’s lawyer didn’t return a message Monday. It’s unclear if Dobyns has a lawyer, and she doesn’t have a published phone listing.
