Missouri resident Clayton Mays, 47, has been booked into the Finney County Jail on suspicion of Attempted First-Degree Murder, according to the Garden City Police Department located in Kansas.
According to police, shortly before 9 a.m. on July 29, officers were dispatched to a hotel room in Garden City for a report of a person who had been shot.
