Parsons Police Lockup Roster Shows Multiple Feb. 23 Bookings, Earlier Hotel Arrests

Parsons Police Department posted a publicly accessible "lockup roster" that lists booking numbers, ages, booking dates and charges and shows multiple individuals booked on Feb. 23, 2026. The roster is described by the department as a near-real-time record of arrests handled by Parsons Police, but the original posting did not reproduce the individual roster entries.

Earlier, the department issued a press release dated Feb. 17, 2026, titled "Parsons Police Department Arrests Two Following Hotel Investigation" describing an incident at Hastings Inn, 400 Main Street. Parsons officers responded at approximately 11:32 a.m. to a trespassing complaint after hotel staff asked that Diamond Lashay Renee Lee, 24, be formally trespassed from the property and believed Lee was inside a room with Daiquarrius Latreveon Higgins, 27.

The Feb. 17 release says responding officers were initially denied access when the hotel room door was closed on officers. Parsons detectives reviewed hotel surveillance video and confirmed Lee had entered the room and had not been observed leaving. The release states detectives applied for and were granted a search warrant by a Labette County Judge to locate and arrest Lee, and that Lee had multiple outstanding warrants from Parsons Municipal Court, Labette County, and Olathe, Kansas.

Department leadership framed the Feb. 17 operation as methodical and lawful. Lt. Kyle Wiford said, "This incident shows the importance of thorough investigative work and attention to detail. Our officers and detectives followed proper legal procedures and ensured the safety of everyone involved while locating and taking a wanted individual into custody." Chief Robert Spinks added, "Our officers acted methodically and within the bounds of the law to resolve this situation. We appreciate the cooperation of the hotel staff and the work of our detectives in securing the warrant and bringing this incident to a safe conclusion. The Parsons Police Department remains committed to enforcing the law and maintaining safety in our community." The release lists Lieutenant Jason Ludwig as the contact, (620) 421-7060, jludwig@parsonspdks.gov.

Available records show two separate items: the Feb. 17 press release announcing two arrests after the Hastings Inn investigation, and the Feb. 23 lockup roster showing multiple bookings. The materials provided do not include the Feb. 23 roster entries themselves and do not explicitly link the Feb. 17 arrests to any specific Feb. 23 bookings or list formal charges beyond the trespassing complaint and unspecified outstanding warrants for Lee.

Parsons residents seeking booking details should consult the department's publicly accessible "lockup roster" for Feb. 23 entries or contact Lieutenant Jason Ludwig at (620) 421-7060 or jludwig@parsonspdks.gov for clarifications about the Feb. 17 hotel investigation and related arrests.
