An Ark City man recently arrested for DUI and reckless driving was also found to have an outstanding warrant in the amount of $500,000 in Seward County for kidnapping.
According to a news release Wednesday morning from the Ark City Police Department, officers were dispatched to A Street and Cedar Avenue on March 18 at approximately 4:30 p.m. for a report of a white vehicle speeding through residential areas.
Officers contacted individuals driving a similar car and while speaking with them, police say a white four-door vehicle sped through Vine Avenue and C Street intersections, almost hitting a truck making a left turn.
Officers located the vehicle and made a traffic stop in the 400 block of North A Street. The ACPD says when officers spoke with the driver, David Barragan, 33, the odor of alcohol was detected.
Barragan declined to participate in a standardized field sobriety test and was arrested, the police department said. He was then transported to the police department for the sobriety test and later to the Cowley County Jail.
Barragan faces multiple charges, including DUI, reckless driving, driving with a revoked license, habitual violator status, transporting an open container, lack of proof of insurance, and an outstanding $500,000 warrant from Seward County for kidnapping.
His bond was set at $508,900.
