Christopher Scott Stamm was back in Barton County District Court facing allegations that he had violated the terms and conditions of his probation.

Stamm waived his right to a hearing and admitted that he had committed a new crime while on probation. District Court Judge Carey Hipp revoked his probation and imposed a sentence of 120 months in the Kansas Department of Corrections.

Stamm was originally charged and convicted of Distribution of Narcotics.

On Feb. 10, 2022, Barton County Sheriff's Office deputies conducted a traffic stop in Hoisington. Stamm was driving on a suspended license.

During the course of the traffic stop, deputies conducted an investigation leading to the discovery of suspected methamphetamine as well as a firearm.
