Wathena Man Sentenced in Standoff Case
(KNZA)--A Wathena man charged in connection with a stand-off last March with law enforcement officers has been placed on probation.
35-year-old William Rhyne was recently sentenced in Doniphan County District Court on charges of criminal threat and possession of methamphetamines. The Kansas Chief reports Rhyne was given a suspended prison sentence on the charges and placed on one year probation.
Several additional felony charges against Rhyne were dismissed by the county attorney.
Authorities say Rhyne barricaded himself inside a trailer home at the Gaslight Acres Mobile Home Park the morning of March 22nd after officers responded to investigate a report of a man acting suspiciously.
Officers from several law enforcement agencies surrounded the trailer and a negotiator was called in to assist. About four hours later, Rhyne was arrested without incident.
