Sheriff In Montgomery Co. Kansas Served Court Summons After KBI Investigation

Prosecutors in Montgomery County, Kansas, have filed charges against the sheriff there.

Sheriff Robert Dierks is charged with two misdemeanors of obstruction and intimidation of a witness. Court documents say Dierks tried to stop a deputy from making an arrest or investigating a crime and then tried to stop that same deputy from testifying in court.

The Kansas Bureau of Investigation tells Wichita station KWCH the charges are related to a DUI arrest in 2018.
