BARTON COUNTY — A Kansas man was convicted Friday on a charge of aggravated endangerment of a child.

According to Barton County Attorney the case began when 31-year-old Jason Bitter was observed driving a vehicle on U.S. 56 into oncoming traffic at a high rate of speed. At the time, Bitter’s daughter was in the vehicle with him as the result of an argument between Bitter and the child’s mother.

Barton County deputies tracked Bitter to a location in Pawnee Rock, where he was arrested.

The child was not harmed. Sentencing on the charge, a felony, is also for December, according to Mellor.
