Bond modified for standoff suspect

(KNZA)--The bond for a rural Horton man, accused of shooting at law enforcement officers during a 10-hour standoff last November on the Kickapoo Reservation, has been modified.

A Brown County District Court judge Monday granted a motion by the attorney for 54-year-old Anthony Walker to reduce his bond from $500,000 to $10,000 cash or surety.

Brown County Attorney Kevin Hill says the motion was granted over his strong objections.

Walker had been scheduled for arraignment on 12 counts, but that was continued to April 22.

The stand-off began the evening of November 27 after Kickapoo Tribal Police were called to a residence in the 12-hundred block of Fern Road for a domestic disturbance.

Multiple agencies responded after Walker,  allegedly armed with an AK-47, began shooting at officers.

Walker surrendered peacefully the following morning after a tactical team from the Kansas Highway Patrol entered the home.

A woman in the home, who allegedly was being held against her will, was able to escape without injury before the standoff ended  and no officers were hurt.    

At last check, Walker remained in the Brown County Jail.
