    An Imperial man was arrested in Wauneta Oct. 21 for a series of disturbances early that day in Chase County.
    In a release, the Chase County Sheriff’s Office identified the man as Cody James Wiest, 21.
    He was arrested on felony charges of use of a weapon to commit a felony and three counts of terroristic threats.
    The Sheriff’s Office said he was allegedly involved in series of altercations with a former girlfriend that began at Enders Reservoir and ended at a home in western rural Chase County.
