First appearances are coming Tuesday in Lyon County District Court for a pair of Wichita residents arrested Thursday evening.
27-year-old Deshawn Hammond and 33-year-old Kayla Stokes are set to appear in separate hearings before Judge Doug Jones at 1:15 pm. Hammond and Stokes were arrested this past Thursday and each charged with single charges of alleged possession of methamphetamine, criminal possession of a weapon by a felon, possession of drug paraphernalia with intent to use and theft.
Stokes also faces a separate charge of interference with law enforcement. The Emporia Police Department says the arrests came as part of an investigation into “multiple cases involving narcotics, firearms, forgery, shoplifting, theft and identity theft.”
A third arrest came Friday in the 700 block of Wilson Street. Following a roughly hour-long standoff with local authorities, 34-year-old Alexander Rose of Wichita was taken into custody for an outstanding warrant through the Kansas Department of Corrections.
Rose is listed on the Lyon County Jail roster, however, formal charges have yet to be filed.
