Police: Wanted Kansas felon found hiding in attic of home

PAWNEE COUNTY —A semi truck driver accused of drug crimes after an accident avoided a trial this week and changed his plea in Pawnee County.

&nbsp;Javier Rubio Montoya, 45 of Horizon City, Texas, pleaded Guilty to Possession of Methamphetamine and Improper Stopping or Parking on a Roadway, according to Pawnee County Attorney Doug McNett.

In exchange for the plea, the state agreed to dismiss charges of Fleeing and Eluding resulting in an accident and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia.

In support of the plea, McNett advised the Court that had the matter proceeded to trial the evidence would have shown that at around 3:00 a.m. on February 18, 2022, law enforcement dispatch received a 911 call from a concerned citizen that there was a semi-tractor trailer with its lights on parked in the southbound lane of US Highway 183 in northern Pawnee County. 

A Pawnee County Sheriff’s Deputy was dispatched to the location. Montoya was discovered to be the sole occupant of the semi.

The deputy requested Montoya follow the deputy to a flatter location so that their vehicles could be more easily seen by any oncoming traffic. When the officer pulled over, however, the semi continued southbound. 

The deputy activated his emergency lights and began following the semi. After several miles the semi began weaving erratically, striking guardrails on both sides of the roadway, and ultimately came to rest in the west ditch. No one was injured in the accident. 

The deputy arrested Montoya at the scene without incident. Montoya advised the deputy he had fallen asleep. Law enforcement conducted an inventory search prior to the semi being towed away, and a small quantity of methamphetamine was found in the Montoya’s belongings.

Montoya is scheduled for sentencing on May 18, 2023. He remains free on bond.

Texas semi driver enters plea in Kansas drug arrest

By LESLIE EIKLEBERRY Salina Post

An investigation into an unrelated case led to the arrest of a Salina man in connection to multiple damaged vehicles and a missing mailbox.

On Wednesday, an officer was at 1007 W. North Street attempting to contact Michael Sampson, 54, of Salina, concerning a trespassing investigation, according to Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester.

While there, the officer was contacted by Scott Echer who said he believed that Sampson's white Dodge Ram flatbed pickup had been involved in damaging vehicles nearby at The Car Shoppe Service Center, 424 N. Broadway Boulevard, on Tuesday night. The officer observed that the Ram had front bumper damage and blue and gray paint transfer. 

The officer went with Echer to The Car Shoppe Service Center, where a blue 2000 Chevrolet S10 pickup and a blue 2000 Chevrolet Silverado both were damaged. Surveillance video showed the Ram drive through the parking lot at 11:40 p.m. Tuesday and drive behind the building at TCS Auto, 432 N. Broadway. When the Ram reappears on the video, it can be seen striking the S10 pickup and then the Silverado, which was dragged approximately 20 feet by the Ram, Forrester said.

Damage to the S10 and the Silverado was estimated at $3,000 each.

The officer then made contact with a representative of TCS Auto, where a gray 2013 Ford Focus that was parked behind the building had been hit. Forrester said the car had been along the same path that the Ram took when it went behind the building in the video.

Damage to the Focus also was estimated at $3,000.

The officer then was contacted by the owner of Randy's Auto, Randy Otto, who told the officer that there had been a disturbance between himself and Sampson. He told the officer that at the time of the disturbance, he believed there would be some sort of retaliation, Forrester said. Surveillance video from Randy's Auto, 1015 W. North Street, showed the Ram drive through the grass and strike a Chevrolet Tahoe. It then left through the nearby Log Cabin Motel parking lot.

Damage to the Tahoe also was estimated at $3,000.

Earlier on Tuesday, another officer responded to the 1900 block of Valley View Drive, where a mailbox was missing. The four-inch by four-inch post and attached mailbox had been pulled from the ground, Forrester said. Loss was estimated at $25.

Home security video showed the Ram pull up next to the mailbox. Someone got out of the pickup and went around to the other side of the pickup for several minutes. When the person left, the mailbox and post were missing.

Forrester said Sampson was located at his residence at 1007 W. North Street, and arrested on the following requested charges that include Four counts of felony criminal damage to property, Criminal trespass and Theft.

RENO COUNTY —Law enforcement authorities are investigating&nbsp; 21-year-old man in connection with a shooting in Hutchinson.

On Tuesday, police booked Nathan Plum into the Reno County jail on a $500,000 bond.

According to Hutchinson Police Lt. Dustin Loepp, this was a warrant arrest from a shooting that occurred on December 2, 2021.

In December 2021, police located a 38-year-old man near the alley behind 322 E 2nd Street in Hutchinson with multiple gunshot wounds, according to Police Lt. Dustin Loepp. The victim was transported to an area hospital for treatment and survived.

The suspect fled the state and was taken into custody on unrelated charges in Oklahoma. He had some other legal obligations before he could be brought back to Kansas, so that’s why there was an extended period of time.&nbsp; Authorities have not released charges against Plum.

4 arrested, children in protective custody after Kansas drug bust

Police have made an arrest in connection to at least one of the recent daytime residential burglaries in west-central Salina, as well as other alleged thefts.

On Feb. 7, officers were sent to the Shell gas station at 1717 W. Crawford Street for the report of a person who allegedly stole $34 worth of cigarettes, Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning.

Then, on Friday, officers were sent to the 700 block of Commanche Avenue for the report of a residential burglary. In that case, the resident reported that while she was gone during the day, someone stole two debit cards from her phone case. Also missing were a Sony Playstation, an Xbox 1, a Sony Playstation VR headset, and some controllers, Forrester said. Loss, in addition to the missing debit cards, was estimated at $900.

Later on Friday, one of the woman's debit cards was used twice for just under $30 at the 24/7 Travel Store at 671 Westport Boulevard, Forrester said. Surveillance video showed a 5'11" person wearing a black hoodie with the word "Crenshaw" on the front using the card. A short time later, an officer spotted a person wearing the hoodie in the 600 block of Westport Boulevard. That person, identified as Jermaine Cooper, 25, of Salina, was detained for questioning, Forrester said.

Police believe Cooper was the person in the above thefts and burglaries. Additionally, Cooper also was recognized from surveillance video from the neighborhood near a daytime residential burglary in the 800 block of W. Republic Avenue on Wednesday, Forrester said.

Police arrested Cooper on requested charges of Two counts of burglary, Theft of a firearm, Felony theft by deception, Three counts of misdemeanor theft, Two counts of criminal use of a financial card and Criminal damage to property

According to Forrester, police continue to check for surveillance video near the locations of the other daytime burglaries to see whether Cooper might be connected to those as well.

Man arrested; Kan. teen dies from injuries in wrong-way crash

KANSAS CITY— A Kansas City man who called 911 emergency assistance for his mother pleaded guilty in federal court today after the police officers who responded to his home found illegal drugs, six firearms he illegally possessed, and large amounts of cash, according to the United State's Attorney.

Michael Thomas Cummings II, also known as “Blue,” 40, pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Howard F. Sachs to one count of possessing methamphetamine with the intent to distribute and one count of being a felon in possession of firearms.

Kansas City police officers arrived at Cummings’s residence shortly before midnight on June 7, 2021, after he had called 911 for his mother because she was unresponsive. Emergency medical personnel were in the process of attempting lifesaving measures when police officers arrived, but she was unresponsive and was pronounced dead at approximately 12:04 a.m. on June 8, 2021. Cummings, who lived with his mother, told officers she suffered from cognitive decline. Officers noted she appeared to be emaciated.

Officers saw a loaded Heckler &amp; Koch .40-caliber semi-automatic pistol sitting next to $438 in cash on a table. They also saw an SKS-style 7.62 x 54mm assault rifle with a magazine leaning against the wall of a back stairwell that led to the basement. Cummings, a felon, was arrested for illegally possessing the firearms.

Officers executed a search warrant at Cummings’s residence later the same day. They found a total of 351.37 grams of methamphetamine in Cummings’s bedroom and a Pioneer Arms 7.62 x 39mm AKM-47 style pistol in a bedroom closet. On a desk in the bedroom, officers also found a baggie that contained approximately .24 grams of fentanyl/heroin, and two baggies that contained approximately 28.1 grams of crack cocaine, as well as a baggie of marijuana in a desk drawer. Officers also found $3,512 in cash in the bedroom.

Officers found a Ruger .22-caliber pistol in another bedroom that had been converted into a weight room.

In a third bedroom, officers found a Smith and Wesson AR-15 style assault rifle in the closet and a safe that contained $175,100 in cash and a Ruger revolver that had been reported as stolen.

Officers also found $180 under the couch cushion, and sodium sulfate, which is often used by drug dealers as a cutting agent to dilute drugs, on a coffee table.

Under federal law, it is illegal for anyone who has been convicted of a felony to be in possession of any firearm or ammunition. Cummings has a prior felony conviction for possession of a controlled substance.

Under federal statutes, Cummings is subject to a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years in federal prison without parole, up to a sentence of life in federal prison without parole. The maximum statutory sentence is prescribed by Congress and is provided here for informational purposes, as the sentencing of the defendant will be determined by the court based on the advisory sentencing guidelines and other statutory factors. A sentencing hearing will be scheduled after the completion of a presentence investigation by the United States Probation Office.
