HUTCHINSON — A Kansas man wanted in both Reno and Saline counties was taken into custody after a stand off with Police on Thursday.
Officer Troy Hoover said Hutchinson police were alerted just after 5 on Thursday morning that a man wanted by authorities was in a motel room at the Sunflower Inn on East 4th Avenue.
Police went to the motel looking for Darrel Beachy who has a long list of past criminal history, and was wanted on several felony warrants.
Officers were not able to locate Beachy although the motel clerk insisted that there was someone in the room according to police.
After checking back several times officers were able to determine that the room was occupied.
Two people came out of the motel room and notified police that Beachy was in the bathroom.
After a long period of negotiations Beachy gave himself up just before noon.
He was taken to Hutchinson Regional Medical Center after he notified police he was having some type of medical issues.
Despite information that Beachy may be armed, no weapon was found in the motel room.
Beachy booked into jail once he left the hospital.
