A Wichita man whose trial in Riley County District Court was scheduled to begin Tuesday failed to appear in court Tuesday morning. A judge issued a warrant for the man as a result.
Judge John Bosch issued a bond revocation and bench warrant for the arrest of Jamal Rhsard Williams, 47, with a new bond of $250,000.
Williams was arrested Dec. 28, 2024 and was released on a $40,000 bond the next day. He is charged with distribution of at least 100 grams of methamphetamine, distribution of between 50 and 250 doses of fentanyl, distribution of between 1 and 3.5 grams of fentanyl, possession of drug bags, interference with a felony arrest warrant and trafficking fentanyl into a correctional facility.
