    Drugs Linked to Fatal Shooting

    TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) Court documents show a 30-year-old Kansas man accused of fatally shooting a Topeka police officer earlier this month told investigators he had used methamphetamine two hours before the incident.

    Ross Preston Lane is charged with capital murder in the September 7th shooting death of 40-year-old police Cpl. Jason Harwood during a routine traffic stop in Topeka.

    According to affidavits filed Sept. 8 and obtained Friday through an open-records request, Lane told a passenger in the car that he didn’t want to go back to prison, before pulling a gun from between the front seats and shooting Harwood.

    Lane was taken into custody several hours later after calling a Topeka television station and saying he wanted to give up. He is being held without bond.
