Recently paroled Kan. man back in jail

HUTCHINSON – A Kansas man released from jail in July was arrested again after he allegedly fled a Hutchinson Police officer just before 2 a.m. on Monday.

An officer attempted to stop Zachary Thompson, 24, Hutchinson, in the 1000 block of Cochran on a traffic violation.

However, Thompson fled the scene.

He was later arrested in the 700 block of East 10th, for felony flee and elude, felony interference with a law enforcement officer and driving while suspended. Police reported Thompson also struck a parked vehicle on East 10th Street.

Thompson was at one time accused of “abuse of a child,” in a case from 2011, but entered a “no contest” plea to amended charge of aggravated battery.

Thompson also served time for attempted aggravated robbery and was convicted of aggravated battery in 2011.

He was paroled on July 15.

His bond in the new case was set at $3,250 and he was able to post that bond. He is expected to make a first appearance on the new charges later this month.
