During a Geary County District Court hearing Monday, 26-year-old Corrieyonna Trice entered a not guilty plea to a misdemeanor charge of Domestic Battery. A jury trial was scheduled for September 15 in the case.
Trice was charged following an alleged January 23 incident involving Junction City Commissioner Al ( Alovence ) Gordon. He too faces one misdemeanor count of Domestic Battery with arraignment scheduled on June 2.
Authorities were called to their home on Jan. 23. Trice had earlier testified about a fight with Gordon revolving around hair clips that she had laid out to do her hair. The clips wound up in a shopping bag carried by Gordon with a dispute over who had initially possessed the clips. Gordon and Trice had been in a relationship for nearly seven years.
