A local man who skipped out on his May 8th jury trial on misdemeanor charges was arrested Sunday, May 12th, at an address on North Oak Street in Garnett, in the home of a woman he was prohibited, by a protection order, from seeing, and police say he’ll face additional felony charges for being found in possession of methamphetamine.
A probable cause affidavit in his arrest says 43-year-old Joshua Caddell, was taken into custody by Garnett Police at an address on North Oak Street at around 6:30 Sunday morning. Caddell had been scheduled for a May 8th jury trial on a 2023 arrest for stalking and violation of a protection order. Cadell also had other charges from earlier in May for violating the order and for possession of methamphetamine. Anderson County Attorney Elizabeth Oliver requested a $5,000 bond which the court reduced to $3,000. Caddell made the bond but never showed up for the May 8th trial. The affidavit says Caddell was arrested without incident at the residence, but was discovered in possession of a substance that tested positive as methamphetamine.
