(KAIR)--A Horton man is arrested, following what Brown County Sheriff John Merchant calls “an extensive investigation” focused on “criminal activity on and/or near the Kickapoo Reservation.”
Arrested Tuesday by Topeka Police was 46-year-old Joseph Ross. He was taken into custody on a Brown County warrant, issued in connection with the investigation, charging him with felony aggravated assault, felony criminal threat, and battery.
According to a release from Merchant, Ross was taken into custody without incident.
Court documents show that Ross is charged in connection with incidents occurring June 26, and involving the same individual who, it's alleged, that Ross struck with a walking stick.
Charges were filed Tuesday by Special Assistant Brown County Attorney Jason Belveal.
Ross made his first appearance in a Brown County Courtroom Wednesday, with a preliminary hearing in the case now set for July 12.
He remains in the Brown County Jail, held on a $50,000 bond.
