An altercation with a 44-year-old Hutchinson man at the Reno County courthouse had law enforcement scrambling and ended with him literally being carried to jail.

Jimmy Aston was being arrested after he caused a disturbance over what was thought to be fraudulent checks.

Its started when he was arrested by a South Hutchinson Police Officer for failure to appear. The officer also noticed that Aston had these unusual checks. Aston bonded on that case, and was then seen upstairs on the third floor of the courthouse and seemed distraught. They called law enforcement to check his welfare and was deemed okay.

Later Aston was spotted outside the courthouse where two sheriff deputies wanted to talk to him about checks. This after they learned he had already bonded in the arrest for failing to appear. Aston then became upset and ran inside the courthouse where he started yelling at workers in the treasurer’s department that they were trying to kill him. Officers caught up with him and the struggle began.

Police Detective Dean Harcrow, sheriff deputies and others were able to get Aston on the floor where he struggled for sometime. Aston a very large man gave them a handful, but was eventually carried to into the jail

Harcrow, who specializes in financial crimes cases, was called to look at the checks and he thought they also appeared as fake. Later a check with the bank showed they were good, in fact cashiers checks, but were for large amounts.

Aston will face additional charges of obstruction of the legal process and disorderly conduct for the incident with a bond of 600-dollars.
