BARTON COUNTY—Law enforcement authorities are investigating a Kansas man for alleged meth distribution.

Just after 6:30p.m. Friday, deputies executed a search warrant at a residence in the 200 Block of South Clay in Hoisington, according to Sheriff Brian Belendir.

When deputies knocked on the front door to gain entry, the suspect identified later as Nelson Adams, Sr., 57, of Hoisington, stated he had a gun.

After a short standoff, Adams surrendered, exited the home and was arrested.

Deputies also located methamphetamine and packaging materials at the home.

Adams is being held on a $50,000 bond on requested charges that include possession of meth with intent to distribute and criminal use of a firearm, according to Bellendir.
