Sheriff: Kansas City man jailed for allegedly selling meth 

NATRONE COUNTY, WY—One of three inmates who escaped Friday from a jail in southwest Missouri is in custody in Wyoming.

Christopher Blevins, 37, was booked just before 1p.m. Wednesday, according to online jail records.

Just after 1:30p.m.&nbsp; Sunday, the Wallace County Kansas Sheriff’s Office received a report of a missing vehicle in the 400 block of North Gardner Street in Sharon Springs, according to Sheriff Marshall Unruh.

A local search for the missing vehicle was begun. The Wallace County Sheriff’s Office was notified of a suspicious red or maroon colored GMC Yukon that had been driving around Sharon Springs earlier that day and that it was now parked north of the 27-40 Store in front of the Welding Shop.

Authorities determined the vehicle was stolen out of Saline County Kansas. When the Saline County Sheriff’s office was contacted they stated that the person believed to have stolen the GMC Yukon was an escaped inmate out of Missouri identified as Blevins.

Wallace County Deputies were able to get video evidence of a man and woman&nbsp; associated with the GMC Yukon and confirmed that it was Christopher Allen Blevins who had escaped from the Barry Missouri County Jail on June3.

Wallace County Deputies then contacted the Barry County Jail in Missouri and learned Blevins had escaped with two others but that the U.S. Marshal's service were actively seeking the three escapees. The U.S. Marshal's service had reason to believe the three inmates had separated immediately after their escape as they had tracked one escapee to Arkansas and the other was still located in Missouri.

The Wallace County Sheriff’s Office was given the identity of the female party who was with Blevins. The U.S. Marshal's service believes the couple headed to Colorado as soon as they left Sharon Springs. The Wallace County Sheriff’s Office is seeking arrest warrants for the couple for the theft of the Wallace County Vehicle. As of June 8, the vehicle had not been recovered.

The U.S. Marshal's service does not believe the other two inmates were ever in Kansas. Marshals are working to get them apprehended again as soon as possible, according to Unruh.

Escaped Mo. inmate who traveled through Kansas captured

GEARY COUNTY&nbsp;-&nbsp;The Kansas Bureau of Investigation (KBI), along with the Topeka Police Department and the Geary County Sheriff’s Office, arrested a man connected to an officer-involved shooting on May 21, according to a media release from the KBI.

Just after 9p.m. Tuesday, police arrested Carlton W. Solton Jr., 36, of Junction City,&nbsp; after he was discharged from Stormont Vail Hospital in Topeka. Solton was arrested on requested charges of two counts of aggravated assault, three counts of aggravated assault of a law enforcement officer, and for criminal use of weapons.

At approximately 5:15 p.m. on May 21, a female subject called 911 to report that a man was outside her home, waving a handgun and threatening her and another female subject with it. She lived in the 700 block of West 11th&nbsp;St. in Junction City.&nbsp;

Minutes later, several officers from the Junction City Police Department responded to the area. As they arrived, officers spotted a man matching the suspect’s description fleeing the area. They chased the man on foot. During the chase, officers saw that the man had a gun, heard gunshots coming from his direction, and observed him pointing the gun at them.

As one officer caught up to the suspect, between two houses in the 600 block of West 11th&nbsp;St., a confrontation occurred and the officer fired at the man striking him multiple times.

Officers then rendered aid to the man. EMS responded and took over life-saving measures. The man was identified as Carlton Solton, Jr., 36, of Junction City. No law enforcement officers were injured during the incident.

EMS transported Solton to the Geary Community Hospital. He was later flown to Stormont Vail Hospital in Topeka. Solton underwent surgery and received further treatment in the intensive care unit.

Following Tuesday's arrest Solton was transported to the Geary County Detention Center. Bond was set at $50,000.

&nbsp;Once the investigation concludes, case findings will be submitted to the Geary County Attorney for review.

Suspect in Junction City officer-involved shooting moved from hospital to jail

WASHINGTON (AP) — A man carrying a gun, a knife and zip ties was arrested Wednesday near Justice Brett Kavanaugh's house in Maryland after threatening to kill the justice.

Nicholas John Roske of Simi Valley, California, who was identified in a criminal complaint charging him with the attempted murder of a Supreme Court justice, was dressed in black when he arrived by taxi just after 1 a.m. outside Kavanaugh's home in a Washington suburb.

Roske, 26, had a Glock 17 pistol, ammunition, a knife, zip ties, pepper spray, duct tape and other items that he told police he would use to break into Kavanaugh's house and kill him, according to a criminal complaint and affidavit filed in federal court in Maryland. Roske said he purchased the gun to kill Kavanaugh and that he also would kill himself, the affidavit said.

Roske told police he was upset by a leaked draft opinion suggesting the Supreme Court is about to overrule Roe v. Wade, the landmark abortion case. He also said he was upset over the school massacre in Uvalde, Texas, and believed Kavanaugh would vote to loosen gun control laws, the affidavit said.

The court currently is weighing a challenge to New York's requirements for getting a permit to carry a gun in public, a case that could make it easier to be armed on the streets of New York and other large cities.

When he got out of the taxi, Roske was spotted by two U.S. Marshals who are part of round-the-clock security provided to the justices following the leak of the draft opinion last month. But Roske was only apprehended after he called 911 in Montgomery County, Maryland, and said he was having suicidal thoughts and planned to kill Kavanaugh, having found the justice's address online. Roske was still on the phone when Montgomery County police arrived on the scene, according to the affidavit.

“This kind of behavior is obviously behavior we will not tolerate,” Attorney General Merrick Garland told reporters Wednesday. “Threats of violence and actual violence against the justices of course strike at the heart of our democracy and we will do everything we can to prevent them and to hold people who do them accountable.”

President Joe Biden praised authorities for quickly apprehending the man, deputy White House press secretary Andrew Bates said in an email.

There have been protests at the homes of Kavanaugh and other justices, as well as demonstrations at the court, where a security fence rings the building and nearby streets have been closed.

A Homeland Security Department report said the draft opinion, leaked in early May, has unleashed a wave of threats against officials and others and increased the likelihood of extremist violence.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court said Wednesday that an armed man who made threats against Justice Brett Kavanaugh was arrested near the justice’s house in Maryland.

The man was arrested about 1:50 a.m., court spokeswoman Patricia McCabe said in an email.

The California man, in his 20s, was armed with a gun and a knife, according to a law enforcement official. The man, whose identity has not been released, arrived in a taxi early in the morning and told law enforcement officers he wanted to kill Kavanaugh, the official said.

The official was not authorized to publicly discuss details of the ongoing investigation and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.

The Washington Post initially reported the arrest, quoting sources who said the man also was carrying burglary tools. He told police he was upset by a leaked draft opinion suggesting the court is about to overrule Roe v. Wade, the court’s landmark abortion case, the Post reported. He was also said to be upset over recent mass shootings, according to the newspaper.

The justices have been provided round-the-clock security at their homes amid concerns about violence following the court’s ultimate decision.

There have been protests at Kavanaugh’s house in a Maryland suburb just outside the District of Columbia, and at the homes of other justices, as well as demonstrations at the court, where a security fence rings the building and nearby streets have been closed.

Kansas man sentenced for killing 4-month-old daughter

DOUGLAS COUNTY—The search for the driver in a hit and run accident that killed a 10-year-old Kansas girl ended Saturday in Indiana.&nbsp; The suspect's immigration status had an impact on information released in an effort to find 28-year-old Jose Alfredo Galiano Mesa, according to Douglas County Sheriff Jay Armbrister.

On Saturday, U.S. Marshals and Indiana State Troopers notified Kansas official that Mesa who lived in Overland Park, was in custody in Martinsville, Indiana, according to Armbrister.

The Sheriff’s Office had a warrant for Mesa’s arrest as the suspected driver that struck a motorcycle about 5:19 p.m., May 14 at East 1900 Road and Kansas Highway 10. Brooklyn Brouhard, 10, of Eudora, later died from injuries suffered in the crash. She was a passenger on the motorcycle driven by her grandfather Barry Larson, 54, of Eudora, who was also injured.

Authorities in Indiana located a vehicle with Mesa inside and took him into custody, and the Sheriff’s Office will now work on getting him extradited to Kansas to face charges.

“We are grateful for this arrest to begin the next chapter in the process in bringing answers to Brooklyn and her family. We thank all law enforcement agencies, especially the U.S. Marshals for their hard work.” Armbrister said.

“I also want to thank the public for their patience and trust in us in this process as we were limited in information we could provide while trying to locate a suspect in this serious crime who was eluding us.”

Mesa’s immigration status played a very large role in the need to keep his name from the public, Armbrister said.

“It was our fear that he would flee the country if we made him famous for all the wrong reasons, and we were poised to do so if it appeared he was moving south,” the sheriff said. “However, through tireless investigation, we knew he was still in the Midwest and could not risk pushing him out of the area, and due to those efforts, we were able to bring him safely into custody.”

After conducting an extensive investigation that included witness interviews, deputies early in the investigation were able to identify Mesa as the driver of the van that struck the motorcycle and left the scene. Mesa had been in Lawrence earlier in the day on May 14 for a painting job and was driving back to the Kansas City area.

Witnesses reported the driver of the white van after the collision proceeded down the ramp leaving its bumper behind and returned to eastbound K-10. Based on vehicle debris at the scene, witness interviews and assistance from area law enforcement agencies, deputies identified the vehicle and seized it on May 16 in the Kansas City area. After identifying Mesa, deputies and fellow law enforcement agencies, including the U.S. Marshals Service had attempted to locate Mesa.

DOUGLAS COUNTY—The search for the driver of a fatal hit and run accident is over.

On Saturday, U.S. Marshals and Indiana State Troopers notified the Douglas County Kansas Sheriff’s Office that 28-year-old Jose Alfredo Galiano Mesa of Overland Park, was in custody in Martinsville, Indiana, according to Douglas County Sheriff Jay Armbrister.

DOUGLAS COUNTY— The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office has identified the driver of a fatal hit-and-run crash on May 14 at East 1900 Road and Kansas Highway 10, and investigators are actively searching for the suspect, according to Sheriff Jay Armbrister.

“The driver of the van was identified immediately after locating the van, and a warrant has been issued for his arrest. Authorities believe publicly disclosing his name will hinder law enforcement's ability to take him into custody. 

We ask for the community's continued patience as we work tirelessly to locate and bring this person safely into custody,” Armbrister said. “Once the driver is apprehended and we can provide more information, we believe the community will understand the circumstances.”

After conducting an extensive investigation that included witness interviews, deputies early in the investigation were able to identify the man suspected of driving the van that struck a motorcycle about 5:19 p.m., May 14. Brooklyn Brouhard, 10, of Eudora, later died from injuries suffered in the crash. 

She was a passenger on the motorcycle driven by her grandfather Barry Larson, 54, also of Eudora, who was also injured.

Witnesses reported the driver of the white van after the collision proceeded down the ramp leaving its bumper behind and returned to eastbound K-10. Based on vehicle debris at the scene, witness interviews and assistance from area law enforcement agencies, deputies identified the vehicle and seized it on May 16 in the Kansas City area. 

After identifying the driver, deputies have worked to locate him and bring him into custody.

Authorities continue to make a plea to the driver to turn himself in. “The

Sheriff’s Office will continue to do everything we can to bring answers for Brooklyn and her family," said Armbrister.

Anyone with knowledge or information about the suspected driver’s whereabouts is encouraged to contact Douglas County Crime Stoppers, 785-843-TIPS (8477), where callers may be eligible for a reward for credible information leading to an arrest.

Police capture suspect who robbed Kansas bank

KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — A police officer in Kansas who fatally shot a former police detective during a scuffle will not be charged with a crime, officials said.

The Wyandotte County Sheriff’s Office and the Wyandotte County District Attorney’s Office investigated&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/police-kansas-city-kansas-743e3b4675777b36861effb0060d08bd">the November shooting of Lionel Womack</a>&nbsp;and found no wrongdoing,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.kansascity.com/news/local/article261998270.html" target="_blank">the Kansas City Star reported</a>. Jonathan Carter, a spokesman for the district attorney’s office, said Tuesday that no charges will be filed against the Kansas City officer who shot Womack.

Police have said two officers confronted Womack following 911 calls about a man standing in a road pointing at the sky and trying to jump in front of traffic. Within seconds of confronting Womack, the former detective had disarmed one officer and pointed the weapon at him, leading the second officer to shoot Womack, investigators said.

The confrontation and shooting were captured on police video. Authorities have not released the names of the officers involved.

“It’s obvious they did not want to shoot him,” Police Chief Karl Oakman told the Star. “They tried everything they could.”

Womack had a tumultuous relationship with the police department in Kansas City, Kansas. Womack was hired by the department in 2007, promoted to detective in 2018, and fired in August 2020 after numerous policy violations and conduct issues, the police chief has said.

Shortly after his termination,&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/federal-lawsuit-kansas-deputy-run-over-b2ed9f2cde9e1cf22c56968969ca9db1">Womack alleged in an excessive force lawsuit</a>&nbsp;that a Kiowa County sheriff’s deputy intentionally drove over him on Aug. 15, 2020, during an encounter that was captured on dashcam video. The deputy denied the allegations and said he’s entitled to qualified immunity.

Court records show Womack’s wife, Z’iontae Womack, has been substituted as the plaintiff in that civil lawsuit, as the administrator of her husband’s estate. She is also a detective with the same police department.

Kan. officer who fatally shot ex-detective will not be charged

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The defendant in a double homicide has been bound over for trial following more than six hours of testimony during his preliminary hearing in Reno County District Court.

Kyle Hardwick was bound over on two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of 58-year-old Phillip Anstine and 56-year-old Marion “Ed” Bates in August of 2021. He is also charged with theft and had a fourth count of solicitation of perjury for trying to convince a friend, Sherry Reed, to lie on the witness stand or not show for the hearing at all.&nbsp;

Testimony Thursday morning came from friends of Bates and Anstine. Both Cathy Havell and Dawnita Joe Hartung testified they tried to get a hold of Bates over a period of two days. They testified that they drove out to a place called the "compound" east of Hutchinson where they met a man who ended up being Hardwick. He told the two women that the pair of victims had gone to town to buy cigarettes.

The two men were eventually found, Bates in a ditch covered in tree limbs and Anstine in a pit used for burning trash, his body consumed by a fire in the pit. Forensic evidence showed that Bates had been shot twice in the face while Anstine had been shot at least once in the back. The barrel of a shotgun was also found in the burn pit.

Detectives and deputies of the Reno County Sheriff’s Department also took the stand testifying about the amount of evidence they collected. DNA samples taken from items found in a camper were connected to Hardwick. DNA testing was also done on the two victims to identify them. Evidence collected from the scene included 12-gauge shotgun shells, two where Bates was allegedly shot and one more about 75 feet away near the burn pit where Anstine was found. Also found were a debit card, a receipt, a bus ticket and social security card, all belonging to the defendant.&nbsp;

The additional count of solicitation to commit perjury was added after a phone call between the defendant and Reed was played in court. Reed had just finished testifying but could not remember much about phone calls she got from Hardwick or much of anything else other than she drove him to a bus station in Kansas City. In the recorded FaceTime conversation, Hardwick repeatedly tells Reed not to show up for the hearing and, if she did testify, to tell the court she was mentally unstable and on drugs. At one time he said, “Please don’t come,” and repeatedly said, “you don’t have to show up.”

There was also testimony about a red Ford truck that was taken from the crime scene. That truck, which belonged to Anstine, was found at Pretty Prairie Road and Victory Road in October. Fingerprints tested from the truck belonged to Hardwick, although Detective Matthew Franklin with the Reno County Sheriff's Department could not say that the prints were put there during the murder and could have been placed there at any time. The defense for Hardwick asked few questions during the hearing, but did say during the testimony from Reed that Hardwick had said he was drugged and raped by the two victims. He is also quoted as saying that “Bates was a friend and he dropped like a martyr.”&nbsp;&nbsp;

Hardwick was arrested in Maize Sept. 1 near a Dollar General store where he had allegedly made purchases. The clerk at the store told detectives that Hardwick said to her that his truck had broken down near Hutchinson and that he walked to Maize. Detectives were able to locate Hardwick from a ping on a cell phone. He was found in an abandoned grain elevator.

Hardwick will be arraigned July 5 before Judge Keith Schroeder.
