HUTCHINSON — The Reno County District Attorney's office dismissed  charges of kidnapping and stalking against a Kansas man felon Thursday.

The kidnapping charge against 56-year-old Thomas Lee Boyd was dismissed without prejudice which means charges can be refiled at a later date.

Boyd was arrested May 9, following an incident involving a Hutchison woman after he allegedly followed her in her vehicle then confronted her.

Andrew Davidson with the District Attorney’s office stated that after a second interview between law enforcement and the victim the charges were dismissed.

Boyd is still being held in the Reno County Correctional Facility on a bond of $125,000 for other pending cases against him.
