A suspect who wrote a series of bad checks, including a $900 worthless check to Orscheln Farm and Home Store in Hays, was arrested Monday in Phillipsburg. He was picked up at the Dollar General store there when he reportedly was trying to write another check.

Shelly Wittman, Assistant Mgr. with Orscheln in Hays told Hays Post that law enforcement had contacted the store to report that the man who wrote the bad check was now, “off the street.” She said, We don’t expect to get their money back but sometimes we get it in small increments and that’s better than nothing.”  Stay tuned to Eagle Radio and Hays Post for more on this story as it is released.
