Scottie Ray Ketch

A Great Bend man was arrested Monday on a warrant for aggravated criminal sodomy. Scottie Ray Ketch was booked into the Barton County Jail with bond set at $500,000.

According to the warrant, Ketch is alleged to have “feloniously and without consent engaged in anal copulation” with a victim identified only by initials. The complaint further states that the victim was overcome by force or fear.

Court records show a female with the same initials filed a protection from stalking order against Ketch on June 25.
