Sheriff: Inmates who escaped from jail south of KC in custody

SEDGWICK COUNTY —A Kansas woman involved in a New Year's Day homicide made a court appearance on July 22.

Isabel Martin was charged with four counts of recruiting criminal street gang membership and is also charged with one count of aggravated robbery.

Investigators said the homicide victim 21-year-old&nbsp; Gabriel Campos-Torres found on a downtown street on New Year’s Day was not shot, but bludgeoned to death in a possible gang initiation.

New arrest documents filed by police said a medical examiner found no evidence that Campos-Torres had been shot. Instead, his death was ruled the result of blunt force injuries to the torso.

Police had issued public statements that Campos-Torres had been shot. But officials now say what appeared to have been a gunshot wound on the left side of his mouth was a cut that had torn through his cheek. Campos-Torres also suffered a “severe laceration of the liver” and significant internal bleeding.

Three people have been charged in Campos-Torres’ death including 19-year-old <a href="https://ssc.sedgwickcounty.org/sheriffinmates/SheriffInmateDetail.aspx?nameId=20065752">Noah Martin,</a> his 21-year-old sister Isabel Martin and another teenager.&nbsp;

 Police say they followed a trail of blood from where Campos-Torres was found to a house with known gang ties. Investigators say Campos-Torres’ blood was found inside the home, as was his cellphone.

Police said they also have surveillance video and social media message between the Campos-Torres and at least one person arrested.

Man gets federal prison time for using fake passport 

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A southwest Missouri couple&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/michael-brown-fe24ade3e378bfb53796a0af7cd71deb">facing multiple charges of abuse against girls&nbsp;</a>at a Christian reform school have been released from jail and placed on home confinement after they reported health issues.

In a bond hearing on Friday, Circuit Judge David Munton released Boyd and Stephanie Householder from the Cedar County jail after setting a $10,000 bond for the couple. They will be on house arrest with GPS monitoring pending their trial.

The couple's attorney said in a court filings that Boyd Householder, 72, has been diagnosed with COVID-19 and Beth Householder, 56, has a serious blood clot disorder that might cause her to lose her foot.

Attorney Adam Woody said the couple needs medical care that county jails cannot provide.

The Householders have been accused of statutory rape, sodomy, physical abuse and neglect against girls at the Circle of Hope Girls Ranch they operated near Humansville. They pleaded not guilty in March.

The Missouri Attorney General’s Office argued in its response to the request for Friday's bond hearing that no medical documentation or doctor's diagnosis had been provided to confirm the couple's health issues or their need for extra medical care.

Prosecutors have argued in the past against releasing the Householders, saying they are a flight risk and a danger to the community and their alleged victims.

A woman who attended Circle of Hope from October 2007 to January 2013 said she was “shocked and horrified” that the couple was released.

“I thought they would be in custody until the trial. … I’m worried that they are going to run or start targeting girls,” said Maggie Drew.

Circle of Hope was closed after about two dozen girls&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/media-kansas-social-media-archive-michael-brown-87ba63e06f2cc6e7661dc806a6c77da4">were removed&nbsp;</a>during an investigation into the allegations last summer.

Four lawsuits filed by former students against the school have been settled. The girls alleged in the lawsuits that they were raped, thrown against walls, forced to eat until they vomited and starved by the Householders.

Residential religious care facilities were exempted from state licensure requirements. Prompted by the Circle of Hope allegations, Republican Gov. Mike Parson&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/business-michael-brown-0377a84c0cdf657eb2173f90cedb0c30">signed a bill</a>&nbsp;this month to regulate the unlicensed schools.

Couple accused of reform school abuses released from jail

MARYVILLE, Mo. (AP) — A Nebraska man who set a fire that forced the evacuation of a Missouri county jail has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for arson and other charges.

Ethen Mark Bentley, 29, of Stella, Nebraska, was sentenced July 16 after pleading guilty to first-degree arson for setting a fire in his cell in January at the Nodaway County Jail. Jail officials were forced to evacuate 20 inmates through smoky, narrow hallways. No one was injured.

The inmates were relocated to nearby county jails for about a month while the jail was repaired.

Bentley also pleaded guilty to two counts of first-degree assault, one count of second-degree domestic assault and one count of felony resisting arrest.

Those charges came after someone saw Bentley assault a woman in a moving vehicle, prosecutors said. He fled when police tried to stop the vehicle and eventually hit a Maryville Public Safety car head on, totaling both vehicles.

As part of the sentence, Bentley was ordered to pay $5,000 restitution to the county.

Man who set fire to jail sentenced to prison

HUTCHINSON, Kan. —Police arrested a Kansas felon after he thought he was soliciting a 14- year-old.

Instead 35-year-old Kelly Andrade of Hutchinson was texting and sending email to a police officer. He's being held in the Reno County Jail on a bond of $25,500.

Andrade was arrested in a case which dates back to November of last year. He’s accused of attempting to contact a 14-year-old and asking to meet that subject. Police took him into custody and a search of his home turned up meth and drug paraphernalia.&nbsp;

He is currently on parole for 2007 convictions out of&nbsp; Reno County on drug manufacturing and possession along with trafficking contraband into a correctional facility. He was released in July of 2019.

Andrade is expected to be back in court July 30 for the formal reading of charges.
