On March 24, 2017, David Duane Mays, 45, of Weir, was sentenced to 40 months in the Kansas Department of Corrections. Mays entered a no contest plea to Possession of Methamphetamine with Intent to Distribute on January 24, 2017. Charges stem from a reported domestic disturbance and subsequent foot pursuit by deputies with the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Department. The eventual apprehension of Mays resulted in the recovery of more than 7 grams of methamphetamine and digital weighing scales.
