The Kansas Bureau of Investigation has arrested a former Kansas undersheriff.
On Friday afternoon, at around 4:10pm, KBI agents arrested 55-year-old Harold Stellner, of Clay Center. Stellner turned himself in at the Clay County Jail. He was arrested for mistreatment of a confined person, a class A misdemeanor.
On October 4th, the KBI initiated this investigation at the request of the Clay County Sheriff when he discovered evidence of an incident that took place on September 29th, at the Clay County Jail. During the incident it is believed Stellner unlawfully struck an inmate. Shortly after, Stellner’s employment was terminated by the Sheriff’s Office. The investigation is ongoing.
