A St. Louis man was arrested Sunday on charges that he stole money from the Fairfield Inn in Hays.
A clerk reported a man entered the hotel, went behind the desk and took $236 from the cash drawer, said Hays Police Chief Don Scheibler. The man fled the building and left via a vehicle.
The suspect's vehicle was stopped in Russell off Interstate 70 by a Kansas Highway Patrol trooper.
Darius M. Upchurch, 43, of St. Louis was arrested on a charge of aggravated burglary.
No one was injured in the incident. The money was returned.
