HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A Hutchinson Community College wide receiver was booked into jail Monday afternoon on marijuana possession with intent to distribute charges.

Police also say 21-year-old Cameron Cordell Henderson had the pot within 1000 feet of a school. His name was briefly dropped by Coach Drew Dallas as among the strong returners to his 2021 football squad at HutchCC at the conference's media day in July.

Henderson was the fourth-leading receiver on the national championship team last year and played in all eight games with 20 receptions for 267 yards and two touchdowns. Given his experience, it's likely Henderson would get even more playing time this fall. The school has not commented on Henderson's arrest.

Kansas man jailed on federal charges after traffic stop

KANSAS CITY (AP) — A grand jury indicted a man and woman on a first-degree murder charge alleging they strangled a woman and dismembered her body, the Jackson County prosecutor announced Monday.

Kansas City-area residents Michael Hendricks, 40, and Maggie Ybarra, 30, are charged with killing 32-year-old Kensie Renee Aubry. The grand jury also indicted them on harassment, first-degree sexual misconduct and child molestation charges, among others.

Aubry went missing in October. A teenage girl who said Hendricks sexually assaulted her&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/lifestyle-michael-brown-8bbb5388d4a5f00b1ea2bc5acf269cda">helped police find Aubry's body</a>.

Police in July found Aubry's body in garbage bags buried in Hendricks' Grain Valley, Missouri, property.

“Our community owes greatly a child victim in this case who came forward and alerted police of the gruesome criminal activity detailed in these charges,” Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker said in a statement. “Without her bravery, we might not know today Kensie Aubry’s fate.”

Hendricks' lawyer in an email said he remains “steadfast in our determination to represent Mr. Hendricks with a robust defense.”

Ybarra's public defender didn't immediately return an Associated Press request for comment Monday.

The teenage girl, who was in foster care, told police that Hendricks confessed to choking the woman and putting her body in a freezer. The girl said Hendricks showed her photos of a naked and bound woman and the chainsaw he allegedly used to chop up her body.

Ybarra was arrested in late April and jailed on sexual abuse charges related to the teenage girl, The Kansas City Star&nbsp;<a href="https://www.kansascity.com/news/local/crime/article252836573.html">reported</a>. Police alleged that Ybarra called Hendricks from jail and asked him to throw away evidence at her house.

Ybarra is also charged with multiple crimes related to tampering with a victim. According to charging documents, Ybarra attempted to get other people to buy gifts for the teenage girl and pressure her to take back what she told police.

Police said Ybarra met Hendricks after he paid her for sex sometime last year. Ybarra has described Hendricks as both her boss and her boyfriend to police. Hendricks' wife filed for divorce within days of his June arrest.
