GREAT BEND – On Wednesday, the Barton County Sheriff’s Office and area law enforcement were seeking the public’s assistance to find Justin E. Peterson.

Peterson had skipped bond in June, when he failed to appear in the Barton County District Court. Several other warrants had also been issued for his arrest.

Barton County Undersheriff Bruce Green said Peterson has been located. Somebody else beat Barton County to the arrest.

“Peterson is in the Sedgwick County jail. Apparently he had been there for a little while and that is why we had not seen him. They have charges on him too. When they are finished with him, they will send him back to us,” said Green.

Peterson, age 27, was out on bond stemming from drug related and other charges. He has a history of violent crime and weapons violations.
