At about 4:38 p.m. Sunday, Great Bend Police Department officers were dispatched to Casey’s General Store, 2716 10th St., in reference to a suspicious vehicle in the parking lot, according to a GBPD news release. The officers were advised three subjects in the vehicle had possibly gotten into an argument while on the property, and had been parked in front of the business for an extended period of time. 

As the officers were investigating the call, K9 Maxx from the Barton County Sheriff's Office responded for a free air sniff of the vehicle. The K9 alerted to the odor of illegal narcotics, and the three subjects were detained. 

After a search of the vehicle, Heather Holmes, 41, was arrested for possession of methamphetamine, possession of marijuana and possession of paraphernalia. The other two subjects were released from the scene. 

Holmes was transported to the Barton County Jail and booked in lieu of $10,000 bond.

If anyone has any information regarding this or any other investigation, they are encouraged to contact the GBPD at 620-793-4120, or Great Bend Crime Stoppers at 620-792-1300 or online at p3tips.com.
