On Tuesday, Sept. 3, at about 9:45 p.m., a deputy with the Barton County Sheriff’s Office responded to a check subject call south of the City of Great Bend. A resident had called and reported an unknown person on a motorcycle on his property.
Upon arrival, the deputies contacted the individual, Daniel Chapman, age 50 of Otis. The deputy knew Chapman had an outstanding warrant in Barton County District Court. The warrant was confirmed, and Chapman was arrested without incident. Once arrested, the deputy allowed Chapman to make a phone call to another individual to retrieve his motorcycle from the location. The second individual arrived, identified as William Dunn age 31, also of Otis. The deputy knew that Dunn also had an outstanding warrant. Dunn was also arrested. During the course of Dunn’s arrest, he was discovered to be in possession of suspected methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia. Both were transported to the Barton County Jail without incident.
Chapman was booked into the Barton County Jail on the probation violation warrant with a $10,000 bond. Dunn was booked into the Barton County jail on a failure to appear warrant that carried a $2,500 bond as well as requested charges of possession of methamphetamine, unlawful possession of prescription medication and possession of drug paraphernalia. Those charges carry an additional $10,000 bond.
