HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A former Kansas police chief accused of stalking and violating a protective order was convicted Wednesday morning in Reno County District Court.
Former Bushton Police Chief Brian Treaster was booked into Reno County Correctional Facility on April 19, 2019, in connection with a stalking incident. He was later charged with battery of the same victim in June that same year.
After a two-day trial, a jury deliberated just 90 minutes before finding Treaster guilty of felony stalking, felony criminal threat, misdemeanor battery and misdemeanor violation of a PFA.
His sentencing is set for June 4.
