Wichita ? The founder of a defunct Wichita-area amusement park has been extradited to Kansas to face 10 counts of securities fraud.

The Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release that Thomas Etheredge was booked Friday afternoon into the Sedgwick County Jail. He was arrested two days earlier in Texas.

Kansas Securities Commissioner Chris Biggs alleges that Etheredge made misrepresentations or failed to disclose material facts when raising more than $800,000 from private investors for Wild West World, near Park City.

Etheredge opened the $30 million Western-themed amusement park on May 5, 2007. The park closed two months later with Etheredge owing creditors about $24 million.

Bond has been set at $1 million. Etheredge is expected to make his first appearance Monday.
