Jason Wayne Cauble, 37, arrested Tuesday by the Pawnee County Sheriff’s office on a warrant, appeared before Magistrate Judge Julie Cowell Thursday morning for a first appearance on the felony count, according to a release from Pawnee County Attorney Douglas W. McNett.
The arrest stemmed from a joint investigation by the Pawnee County Sheriff’s Department and the Larned Police Department into the burning of a 30-by-20-foot flag located at the Carr Auction and Realty Inc. building in Larned. The damage was discovered the morning of April 29.
LARNED – A Larned man charged in connection with the shooting of two people in Burdett last December entered a plea in the case on Wednesday.
Under a plea agreement, Thomas R. “Tre” Jones, III, 22, pleaded guilty to two counts of intentional aggravated battery with a firearm resulting in great bodily harm, according to a release from Pawnee County Attorney Douglas McNett.
As part of the deal, the state dismissed seven other counts.
