Parsons find man on bicycle towing wagon with stolen safe

Police in Parsons says they were dispatched to the report of a burglary last Thursday morning after a neighbor called about suspicious activity.

The report indicated that a man dressed in all black had carried a safe out from a neighbor’s house.

When police arrived they noticed the back door of the house standing open.

While waiting for a backup unit to arrive to enter the house, Sgt. Waylon Kepley saw the suspect ride past him  on a bicycle pulling a wagon with a safe in it. The neighbor confirmed that it was the person he had seen.

37-year-old Christopher Harold Hilton of Parsons was arrested on suspicion of burglary, criminal damage, theft, and interference with law enforcement.

Hilton has been transported to the Labette County Jail where he awaits charges.
