Three people from Great Bend were arrested on Saturday, Oct. 15, during a search warrant executed by the Barton County Sheriff’s Office in connection to burglaries that happened during the week of Oct. 10, Sheriff Brian Bellendir said.
Keaton Krom, age 24, was arrested for three counts of burglary, three counts of theft and one count of possession of stolen property. Julia Ellis, age 24, was arrested for one count of possession of stolen property and Rachael Quesenbury-Graves, age 37, was also arrested and booked on one count of possession of stolen property. As of Tuesday, Krom and Ellis remain in jail and Graves bonded out.
