(KLZA)-- A Falls City man is facing felony charges of burglary and resisting arrest. 

According to an affidavit in Richardson County Court,  43-year-old Travis R. Kirkendall was arrested early Monday morning by Falls City Officer James Wason. 

According to the court document, Officer Wason was on patrol and noticed someone walking south in the alley of the 1900 block between Highway 73, which is Harlan Street and Stone Street. The individual was between Harmon's O.K. Tire Store and the Harmon's O.K. Warehouse.  The individual ran west on 19th then  south on Stone Street. 

Officer Wason was headed south on Stone when he heard a door close in the alley in the 1800 block of  Stone Street and discovered a door to the basement of the Grand Weaver Hotel was partially open.

Upon further investigation, Officer Wason located Kirkendall crouched behind a bench seat in the basement. Being aware of an active warrant for Kirkendall, Wason attempted to place him under arrest. Following a brief struggle Kirkendall was handcuffed. 

Officer Wason then discovered a cam-shaft he believed to be stolen, in a box near where Kirkendall was hiding.

Falls City Police Sergeant Chuck DiGiacomo went to Harmon's O.K. Tire warehouse and discovered the lock on the door had been cut. In addition, he found multiple new tires, rims and other items piled just outside the doorway.  

Later a set of bolt cutters were discovered in a trash can in the 1800 block of Stone Street. 

Kirkendall appeared in Richardson County Court Monday and cash bond was set at $4-thousand.  

Arraignment was scheduled for the morning of August 20th.
