HUTCHINSON – A Kansas man was arrested on four charges early Sunday where he was found inside a Hutchinson home uninvited.

A Hutchinson woman reported to police that she found a man inside her home just before 7 a.m.

She ran to her bedroom where her husband was still asleep.

Police say the suspect identified as Wayne A Sprague, 25, Beloit, followed her, allegedly forced her onto the bed and began choking her.

The victim’s husband work up and then began struggling with Sprague.

When police arrived, they first took Sprague to Hutchinson Regional Medical Center to be checked out, and then to the Reno County Correctional Facility on charges of aggravated battery, aggravated burglary, possession of methamphetamine and misdemeanor battery.

In court on Monday, he told Judge Joe McCarville that he didn’t intend to rob anyone. He thought someone was chasing him and was going to kill him, so he went into the home to hide.

He appeared via-video from the jail and was sporting a black eye from the incident. His bond was set at $60,500 and the judge lowered it to $60,000. He’s expected back in court next Monday for the reading of any charges the state may file.
