On Saturday, April 5, at approximately 11:45 a.m., officers with the Great Bend Police Department were dispatched to a local business in reference to threats that were made to an individual. Officers were advised that a male subject, identified as Jorge Aguilera-Castillo, age 19, had entered the business and threatened the victim, who was working inside of the business.
A short time later, as the victim left the business, accompanied by his girlfriend, they noticed that Aguilera-Castillo was following them in his vehicle and that he was driving erratically. The victims in this incident were the same victims from a previous armed felony offense.
Aguilera-Castillo was located at his residence in Great Bend by Barton County Sheriff's Office deputies and Great Bend Police Department officers. Aguilera-Castillo was taken into custody without incident. Aguilera-Castillo was booked on charges of aggravated intimidation of a witness (x2), criminal threat, and stalking. Aguilera-Castillo was booked in lieu of bond.
This case is still under investigation. Anyone with information regarding this or any other case is encouraged to contact the Great Bend Police Department at 620-793-4120 or the Barton County Crime Stoppers at 620-792-1300 or online at p3tips.com.
