Cherokee County Man Arrested For Stealing Truck

A Weir, Kansas man was arrested early Saturday morning for allegedly stealing a truck.

The arrest comes after deputies were called to the theft of a 2002 Ford F-150, which was reported stolen in northern Cherokee County late Friday night.

Around 3:30 a.m. deputies discovered the truck in a ditch near Lawton.

A short time later, they located the suspect after residents called about a suspicious man in the area.

32 year-old Charley Baxter is currently being held in lieu of $3,250 bond on allegations of Felony Theft and Driving While Suspended.
