RENO COUNTY— A Kansas man was arrested on Wednesday after he allegedly ran from officers when they tried to arrest him for an outstanding warrant for theft.

On Wednesday afternoon Colton Viers, 24, Hutchinson, is alleged to have run when an officer approached him.

Police say he dropped a backpack he had with him while fleeing the officers. It allegedly contained drugs and drug paraphernalia.

He allegedly ran into a home to escape the officers, except the home wasn’t his and the occupant of that home didn’t know him.

He eventually surrendered to police.

Potential charges include aggravated burglary, possession of methamphetamine, possession of drug paraphernalia and felony interference.

Bond is set at $23,500 and he should be back in court next week.

Viers is also listed as an absconder from community corrections for a drug conviction.
