(KNZA)--A request for a bond reduction for a Wathena man charged in connection with an altercation last week has been denied.
The attorney for 37-year-old Ryan Smith requested this week that his client’s bond be reduced from $25,000 to $10,000.
The Kansas Chief reports Doniphan County Attorney Charles Baskins argued against the bond reduction, saying the victim was left with facial injuries requiring surgery and Smith poses a danger.
Smith is accused of attacking J.T. Euler at a farm north of Wathena on April 17th while he was in the cab of a tractor.
Smith is charged with aggravated battery and disorderly conduct. He also faces Kansas fish and game charges.
Smith remains in the Doniphan County Jail. He is scheduled to make his next appearance in court May 3rd.
