KANSAS CITY (AP) — A Kansas City man has been sentenced to 26 years in prison for killing a Christian missionary from China and wounding two others while high on PCP.

Curtrail Hudson, 20, was sentenced Thursday in Jackson County Circuit Court, the Kansas City Star&nbsp;<a href="https://www.kansascity.com/news/local/crime/article247006287.html">reported</a>. A jury found Hudson&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/6617e027fb01fc40b70928ae76704dfa">guilty&nbsp;</a>in February of second-degree murder and five other charges in the April 2018 shooting that killed 38-year-old Xindong Hao.

Hao arrived in the city with his wife and four young children shortly before the shooting&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/202e492475224211bdd485fc5bba60cc">to join fellow missionaries</a>&nbsp;at the International House of Prayer. The evangelical group’s headquarters is near the scene of the shooting. Investigators have said Hao was walking when he encountered Hudson, then 18, who was randomly shooting at people. Two other people were wounded before Hudson was arrested.

Hudson told police he believed Hao was an accomplice of another man he’d been arguing with moments before.

Hudson's defense attorney had argued at trial that Hudson had smoked a marijuana cigarette without knowing it had been dipped in PCP and was “in a state of psychosis" when the shooting occurred.

Police: 2 dead, 3 injured in Kansas City shooting

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A Democratic candidate who admitted to circulating revenge porn and was charged at the age of 14 with threatening to shoot a high school student has won a state House seat in Kansas, and party leaders promised Thursday to try to oust him after what they saw as a threat against the governor.

Aaron Coleman was the only candidate on the ballot in his Kansas City, Kansas, district in Tuesday’s election, but the 20—year-old faced the veteran state lawmaker whom he defeated in the Democratic primary and a Republican candidate who ran as write-ins.

Coleman began identifying himself on Twitter&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/Aaron4KS37" target="_blank">as “Rep.-elect”</a>&nbsp;and on Wednesday criticized Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly in tweets as&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/Aaron4KS37/status/1324108395696345092" target="_blank">a “Republican” unfit to serve</a>&nbsp;because she doesn’t support Medicare for All or the Green New Deal plan to combat climate change and suggesting “radical progressives” will prevent her reelection in 2022. Coleman&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/d7ea4a5bc168f3b608ea96c81efb6c78">touted a liberal platform</a>&nbsp;in defeating Democratic state Rep. Stan Frownfelter by 14 votes in the August primary.

A political operative provided The Associated Press with a screen shot of another tweet that was no longer online Thursday in which Coleman predicted that Kelly would face an “extremely bloody” Democratic primary in two years. The screen shot was provided anonymously because the operative was not authorized to speak about the race.

“I’m not playing around,” Coleman wrote in the tweet. “People will realize one day when I call a hit out on you it’s real.”

Kelly spokeswoman Lauren Fitzgerald responded to Coleman’s tweets by saying in an email: “Aaron Coleman is unfit to serve in the Legislature.”

Coleman acknowledged during an interview posting the tweet and then deleting it Wednesday, saying he’d intended to used the phrase “political hit,” adding, “Obviously I should have moved away from the word ‘hit.’”

“There are people out there who will intentionally try to misinterpret anything you say,” Coleman said. “It’s fine. I’m not worried about it. Really, at this point, nobody can really stop me.”

But Kansas House Minority Leader Tom Sawyer, a Wichita Democrat, described the tweet as “threatening the governor.”

Coleman’s social media post came less than a month after authorities said they&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/michigan-checks-and-balances-archive-gretchen-whitmer-da09ca66cd8d5f36722021d3593425ff">foiled a plot</a>&nbsp;to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, another Democrat, in reaction to her handling of the coronavirus pandemic. An FBI agent testified in federal court that members of&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/virus-outbreak-kidnapping-michigan-gretchen-whitmer-arrests-b0d90b827be272781239f8e841d635dd">paramilitary groups also discussed</a>&nbsp;kidnapping Democratic Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam.

Sawyer said he or other Democrats in the House will file a complaint against Coleman when he’s sworn in and work for the two-thirds vote in the House needed to remove Coleman from his seat. The state Democratic Party already had disowned Coleman in August, and state Chairwoman Vicki Hiatt publicly backed such an effort Thursday, with both she and Sawyer calling Coleman unfit to serve.

But Coleman said he’s consulted with a lawyer and believes he only can be removed from his seat for misconduct in office, not for actions before taking office in January.

“Until I break the public’s trust and I break my oath of office, you know, you cannot undo the results of democracy,” Coleman said.

Later, he added: “I’m going keep my head down and do my homework and try not to get any more headlines for a while.”

Unofficial election results showed 3,496 votes for Coleman and 2,013 total write-in votes. The local Board of Canvassers is scheduled to meet Nov. 16 to review provisional ballots cast by voters whose eligibility wasn’t certain.

Wyandotte County Election Commissioner Bruce Newby said it’s “very rare” for all write-in votes to go to a single candidate. Newby said he doesn’t have a countywide count of provisional ballots yet, but that there would almost certainly not be enough in Coleman’s district to change the result. About 3,000 ballots mailed to voters countywide had yet to arrive, but Newby said it’s likely that only several hundred will arrive by Friday’s deadline. Even if all of them arrived on time, he said, only a fraction would be for Coleman’s district.

“Quite honestly, there’s no hope there,” Newby said of overcoming Coleman’s victory.

Coleman was charged in May 2015 with a felony count of making a criminal threat but later pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of harassment. An arrest report and investigative summary from the incident, obtained by AP through an open records request, said Coleman threatened to go to a girl’s high school, shoot her, and turn the gun on himself.

He acknowledged in a June post on Facebook that allegations of revenge porn and harassing middle school girls online&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/ac948dae17c3dbc36ffe62246925c4f3">were true&nbsp;</a>but called them the actions of a “sick and troubled 14-year-old boy.” The state Democratic Party disowned Coleman in August when an&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/d6ea4066903abd8ef70d60bebe6c8a3c">ex-girlfriend accused him</a>&nbsp;of being physically abusive to her in late December

State Rep-elect vows to "call out a hit" on Kansas governor

BELLE PLAINE, Kan. (AP) — A federal appeals court ordered the immediate release of a Russian mother whose case garnered international attention after she was convicted of kidnapping for moving her children from the U.S. to Russia amid a divorce.

Bogdana Alexandrovna Osipova, who is referred to by her married name of Mobley in court documents, was&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/8f3bd4edb5284519a0e5dc33155ff402">convicted in Kansas last year&nbsp;</a>of one count of international parental kidnapping and two counts of attempting to extort money.

A three-judge panel of the U.S. 10th Circuit Court of Appeals overturned the two extortion convictions in August but upheld the conviction for parental kidnapping, sending the case back to U.S. District Judge Eric Melgren for resentencing.

Federal prosecutors did not fight the panel’s decision, telling Melgren in a filing that further review was not authorized by the Solicitor General’s Office.

Osipova, who has been imprisoned since her 2017 arrest, sought her release because she had already served the maximum three-year prison sentence allowed on the remaining count. She filed an emergency appeal after Melgren did not immediately free her.

The federal appeals panel told Melgren on Wednesday to order her release and schedule a date for resentencing via videoconferencing. It also “strongly” encouraged him to consider releasing her to the custody of her mother and stepfather in New York pending resentencing.

Her attorney, Craig Divine, did not immediately return an email message Thursday seeking comment.

Osipova, who has dual Russian and U.S. citizenship, left Wichita, Kansas, in 2014 with one child from her first marriage and another child from a second marriage to Brian Mobley, an Air Force recruiter. She gave birth to a third child soon after returning to Russia.

The Kansas judge awarded sole custody to her ex-husband because she had left the U.S. without court approval or Mobley’s knowledge. A Russian court awarded custody to Osipova.

Osipova was arrested in September 2017 after returning to the U.S. without her children to change child support arrangements.

Her case has sparked an international tug-of-war. Russia demanded last year that Osipova be released, while U.S. Rep. Ron Estes called on Russia to reunite the Kansas father with his children.

(AP) — A federal appeals court ordered the immediate release of a Russian mother whose case garnered international attention after she was convicted of kidnapping for moving her children from the U.S. to Russia amid a divorce.Bogdana Alexandrovna Osipova, who is referred to by her married name of Mobley in court documents, was&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/8f3bd4edb5284519a0e5dc33155ff402">convicted in Kansas last year&nbsp;</a>of one count of international parental kidnapping and two counts of attempting to extort money.A three-judge panel of the U.S. 10th Circuit Court of Appeals overturned the two extortion convictions in August but upheld the conviction for parental kidnapping, sending the case back to U.S. District Judge Eric Melgren for resentencing.Federal prosecutors did not fight the panel’s decision, telling Melgren in a filing that further review was not authorized by the Solicitor General’s Office.Osipova, who has been imprisoned since her 2017 arrest, sought her release because she had already served the maximum three-year prison sentence allowed on the remaining count. She filed an emergency appeal after Melgren did not immediately free her.The federal appeals panel told Melgren on Wednesday to order her release and schedule a date for resentencing via videoconferencing. It also “strongly” encouraged him to consider releasing her to the custody of her mother and stepfather in New York pending resentencing.Her attorney, Craig Divine, did not immediately return an email message Thursday seeking comment.Osipova, who has dual Russian and U.S. citizenship, left Wichita, Kansas, in 2014 with one child from her first marriage and another child from a second marriage to Brian Mobley, an Air Force recruiter. She gave birth to a third child soon after returning to Russia.The Kansas judge awarded sole custody to her ex-husband because she had left the U.S. without court approval or Mobley’s knowledge. A Russian court awarded custody to Osipova.Osipova was arrested in September 2017 after returning to the U.S. without her children to change child support arrangements.Her case has sparked an international tug-of-war. Russia demanded last year that Osipova be released, while U.S. Rep. Ron Estes called on Russia to reunite the Kansas father with his children.

BARTON COUNTY —Law enforcement authorities are investigating a woman on numerous charges involving an unlicensed day care.

On Tuesday, November 3, police executed a search warrant at a home at 1819 Madison Street in Great Bend in reference to theft by deception, operating a daycare without a license and impersonation of an officer and medical professional, according to a media release.

This investigation is still ongoing and the Great Bend Police Department would like to locate any additional victims that were taken advantage of by donating money, goods or services to Carl.

Sheriff: 4 Kansas suspects jailed for series of burglaries

SEDGWICK COUNTY — A retired firefighter who charged with threatening to kidnap and kill the mayor of Wichita because he was upset about the city’s mask ordinance is scheduled for another court appearance Thursday afternoon, according to the district attorney's office.

Meredith Dowty, 59, Wichita, was charged with three counts of criminal threat.

Wichita Mayor Brandon Whipple said he had been read text messages received by another city official that threatened his life.

The mayor says the suspect talked about tyranny in the messages and was upset about the mask mandates and not being able to see his mother because of COVID-19 restrictions on elderly homes.

In Kansas, criminal threat is a level 9 felony which means, depending on his criminal record, it’s possible Mr. Dowty could receive anywhere from probation to 17 months in prison on each count, if he’s convicted, according to the district attorney.

Dowty is no longer in custody, according to online jail records.

Police arrest Kansas youth football game gunman

The Hays Police Department had an eventful night Saturday, with a handful of arrests being made, and numerous calls for more minor crimes.

"Halloween was a busy night," said Hays Police Department chief Don Scheibler.

During one incident, HPD officers took into custody a naked Hays man following an alleged assault.

At around 1:24 a.m. on Nov. 1, officers were dispatched to the 500 block of Ash following a report of a physical disturbance, Scheibler said.

The reporting party told police that a fight between a man and a woman was occurring, with the woman screaming "Let me go," he said.

When officers arrived, the man was located and was smeared with blood, Scheibler said.

He was also reported to be completely naked.

The suspect, later identified as&nbsp;Dustin Jay Kraft, 34, then attempted to flee on foot, as officers pursued.

He continued to resist, and officers deployed a taser, but the suspect continued to assault officers while also making threats upon the life of the officer, Scheibler said.

Officers would eventually detain Kraft under suspicion of domestic battery, criminal threat against a law enforcement officer, criminal threat, drug possession and drug paraphernalia.

Kraft has previous convictions including drug possession in Ellis County from an incident in 2017, as well as convictions for battery and obstructing a legal process in Norton County from an incident in 2019.
