BARTON COUNTY —Law enforcement are investigating a suspect on multiple allegations after an encounter at a restaurant.

Just after 6p.m. August 28, a police officer observed an individual at a local establishment in Great Bend and knew the person had a valid Barton County District Court warrant, according to a media release.

When contacted by the officer, 35-year-old Nathan Moore ran down the alley and into a backyard of a residence in the 2300 block of Kansas Avenue.

Moore resisted arrest, and the officer deployed his electronic control device on Moore, who was then taken into custody without further incident. 

After Moore was in custody, a search of his person revealed both marijuana and methamphetamine. Moore was transported to the Barton County Jail and booked on requested charges of possession of methamphetamine, possession of marijuana, interference with law enforcement as well as the outstanding warrant.
