HARVEY COUNTY—A man wanted by Wichita Police on charges of domestic battery by strangulation was arrested today in Newton.
Just after noon, Newton officers went to a house on Windsor Drive to locate the suspect, according to a social media report.
Officers spoke to a resident of the home who said the suspect was there. Before officers contacted the suspect, he ran from the rear of the house.
Officers searched the area on foot and by car, as well as using a drone. Because of the proximity of the house to Northridge Elementary School, the school doors were locked for a short time and the school was searched by officers.
At 2 p.m., the suspect turned himself in to Newton Police and was released to the Wichita Police Department for further investigation. Police did not release the suspect's name.
