Hamilton County Attorney Rob Gale announced no criminal charges will be filed against law enforcement officials. The decision follows a Kansas Bureau of Investigation review into alleged abuse at the Hamilton County Jail after Syracuse resident Chris Barr said an officer hit him and damaged a bench during a Nov 17 arrest. Barr faced obstruction and battery charges, later dismissed, with the three officers under probe identified as Undersheriff Neil Talbot and Deputies Johnathan Smith and Nikolas Krug. Sheriff Richard Garza agreed with the counsel.
