HUTCHINSON– While police were looking for a Kansas man who ran from a traffic stop, they discovered a home and garage that contained drug and drug paraphernalia.

Police suspected a man who ran from the stop might be hiding in the garage.

Johnathon Carson, 32, Hutchinson, was standing outside the garage and denied knowing whether anyone was inside.

Items consistent with drugs were found leading to a search of the garage and the home, according to police.

Carson admitted that he had a shotgun inside the garage. Police found the gun, which had a modified barrel.

They also found digital scales and baggies with meth residue.

Potential charges include possession of methamphetamine, being a felon in possession of a firearm, criminal use of a weapon, possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.
In court, Carson asked for a bond reduction, however the state objected because of his convictions involving drugs including unlawfully manufacturing, possession of drugs and drug paraphernalia.

Bryson Pallen, 24, was also arrested at the home and faces potential charges of possession of methamphetamine and possession of drug paraphernalia. His bond set at $7,500.
