RILEY COUNTY —Law enforcement authorities are investigating a Kansas man on drug allegations.
Just after 10p.m. Tuesday, police arrested 47-year-old Jason Smith of Salina for his two outstanding failure to appear warrants through Riley County District Court, according to the Riley County Police Department activity report.
The first warrant stems from Smith failing to appear in court on August 5, 2022, for an original charge of possession with intent to distribute after meth was found in a car he was in during a traffic stop on June 27, 2022, near the intersection of S. 11th Street and El Paso Lane in Manhattan.
The second warrant is for failing to appear in court on September 6, 2022, for original charges of possession with intent to distribute meth, possession with intent to distribute marijuana, possession with intent to distribute LSD, and two counts of possession of drug paraphernalia after drugs were found in his truck that had crashed in the 11000 block of Madison Road east of Riley on November 20, 2020.
Smith remains confined in the Riley County Jail with a total bond of $80,000.
