Great Bend Police Chief Steve Haulmark issued a news release about an arrest made Saturday evening, saying a suspect lied about his identity and was in possession of illegal drugs.

According to the report, a GBPD stopped a bicyclist around 8:30 p.m. on April 26 in the area of 3rd and Elm St. for a traffic violation. The cyclist, who was later identified as 22-year-old Kaden Stiles, initially provided the officer with a false name and other false information.

“Eventually, the officer was able to determine Stiles provided false information and learned his identity. Barton County Dispatch advised the officer that Stiles had a no-bond warrant for his arrest out of Barton County,” the news release stated. “While the Officer was placing Stiles under arrest for the warrant, Stiles attempted to discard a bag, later determined to contain methamphetamine. Stiles was also found to be in possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.”

He was transported to the Barton County Jail, where he was booked in lieu of no bond for the warrant and $10,000 bond for the alleged narcotics violation.
