PAWNEE COUNTY– Bradley J. Colglazier, 47 of Rozel, appeared on bond Wednesday morning in the Pawnee County District Court regarding pending Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol charges, according to Pawnee County Attorney Doug McNett.
The charges stem from three separate incidents. On August 8, 2025, Colglazier was stopped by the Pawnee County Sheriff’s Department as part of an investigation into a reported domestic dispute earlier in the evening and was subsequently arrested for driving under the influence (DUI).
On April 19, 2026, the Kansas Highway Patrol responded to an injury related accident on U-183 near mile post 103 in Pawnee County in which Colglazier’s vehicle had been struck by another vehicle.
Colglazier was transported to the hospital due to injuries sustained in the accident. A blood draw revealed he was twice the legal limit at the time of the accident.
On May 3, 2026, the Pawnee County Sheriff’s Department stopped Colglazier on a township road for having an open alcoholic beverage container and not having an interlock device installed on the Polaris Ranger he was operating. A subsequent breath test revealed he was over the legal blood alcohol limit at the time of the stop.
In exchange for dismissal of the interlock violations and open container charges, Colglazier pled No Contest to each of his three pending DUI charges.
Magistrate Judge Kenneth Schmidt accepted the pleas and sentenced Colglazier to one year in jail on each charge to run consecutively and a $1,750.00 fine on each conviction in addition to court costs, booking fees and probation fees. The Court then suspended the jail sentences and ordered the defendant to serve 90 days work release/house arrest with electronic monitoring and placed the defendant on twelve months probation. A condition of probation is that he follow all drug and alcohol treatment recommendations.
Under current Kansas DUI law, when in a work release program, the person shall only be given credit for the time served in confinement at the end of and continuing to the beginning of the person's work day. When under a house arrest program, the person shall be monitored by an electronic monitoring device that verifies the person's location and shall only be given credit for the time served within the boundaries of the person's residence.
