A Colorado man was arrested March 21 after allegedly trying to sell drugs at a gas station in Hays.
Hays Police Chief Don Scheibler said officers responded to a report of a suspicious man at a gas station on North Vine Street. The man allegedly gave a false name and denied involvement in any drug activity.
Scheibler said the Kansas Highway Patrol assisted at the scene with a roadside fingerprint scanner, which ultimately identified the suspect as 38-year-old Andrew David Voda of New Castle, who had a felony warrant out of Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Scheibler said a search of the vehicle allegedly uncovered liquid methamphetamine, resulting in several charges, including possession with intent to distribute, DUI, open container violation, possession of drug paraphernalia and interference with law enforcement.
Scheibler said the suspect was also charged with violating a protection from abuse order and possessing stolen property, as the vehicle he was driving was allegedly stolen from Colorado.
Scheibler credited the Kansas Highway Patrol for helping officers identify the suspect.
