SEDGWICK COUNTY — Law enforcement authorities are investigating a burglary that sent two suspects to an area hospital and have reported an arrest.

Just after 2 a.m. Monday, police responded to a burglary-in-progress call at the home in the 1400 Block of North Caddy in Wichita, according to officer Charley Davidson.

Upon arrival, officers located a black 2017 Mazda 4-door that had crashed into a tree in the front yard of a separate home in the same block.&nbsp; Inside the vehicle was a 19-year-old female who had sustained a gunshot wound to her leg and a 19-year-old male who had sustained a gunshot wound to his body.&nbsp;

The woman identified as Mia Yevonne Marie Hidalgo was taken to an area hospital for treatment of a non-life-threatening injury, and the man was taken to an area hospital for treatment of a serious injury.

The investigation revealed a 42-year-old male was at home with his 38-year-old spouse and 5-year-old son.&nbsp; He heard his garage door open, went outside and heard a discussion between individuals in the Mazda and a black truck, targeting his home.&nbsp; 

The 19-year-old man and woman then pulled into his driveway with their headlights off and began to get out of the car.&nbsp; The 42-year-old yelled at them and fired two times from a shotgun, striking the individuals and the Mazda.&nbsp; Inside the Mazda, officers located two handguns, and the vehicle was reported as stolen.&nbsp; The truck fled the scene.

On Friday, police reported Mia Yevonne Marie Hidalgo, 19, was now in custody on requested charges of aggravated burglary, theft and a drug possession charge, according to the Sedgwick County booking report. She is being <a href="https://ssc.sedgwickcounty.org/sheriffinmates/SheriffInmateDetail.aspx?nameId=20061018">held on a bond of $51,500,</a> according to online jail records.

Burglary suspect wounded by Kan. homeowner moved from hospital to jail

RENO COUNTY— A Kansas man who was arrested for embezzling more than $380,000 from a local company will spend the next 11 years in prison after his sentencing Friday afternoon in Reno County District Court.

Fifty-four-year-old Anthony Mills of Hutchinson could have been looking at even more time, but the sentence will run concurrent to a lengthy prison sentence he will serve in Colorado for a previous crime involving an unlawful sexual relationship.

Mills was convicted of embezzlement and computer crimes after taking the money from B &amp; B Hydraulics. The defense in the case had asked for community corrections, saying it would allow Mills to pay restitution in the case. But the prosecution noted the representatives of B &amp; B felt that any chance of meaningful restitution was not likely to happen and asked for the maximum sentence.

It was back in March that law enforcement learned Mills had used company funds to pay personal debts from 2017 to the present. Through the investigation, detectives determined that the total loss was approximately $384,000 over a three-year period.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Mills was also sentenced for failing to register as an offender from his Colorado case. In arguing against any community corrections for Mills, the prosecution noted that Mills was still having contact with the victim.

Kansas man accused of child sex crimes involving 2 teens

KANSAS CITY(AP) — A Kansas City man who was prosecuted after filming two police officers who he thought were being too aggressive in their arrest of a black transgender woman is suing the city and the officers.

Roderick Reed contends in his lawsuit that the charges against him were an attempt to stop him from releasing the video of the May 2019 arrest of Breona or “Bryia” Hill by officers Matthew Brummett and Charles Prichard.

Police said Reed was arrested because he refused the officers' commands to move his car, which he had stopped in the middle of the street to record the arrest. Reed was convicted of a city ordinance violation, but Mayor Quinton Lucas&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/db41066b7d28cdca8aad6f3317202cbb">pardoned</a>&nbsp;him last week.

A grand jury indicted Brummett and Prichard on a misdemeanor assault charge for “recklessly causing pain” to Hill while she was handcuffed. Prosecutors cited Reed's video of the arrest when the charges were announced.

Reed said in the lawsuit, filed Friday in Jackson County Circuit Court, that he started recording the arrest after he saw an officer hit Hill. Reed, who never got out of his car, ignored officers' orders to move the vehicle and continued recording because he “believed that Hill would be killed" if he stopped.

Reed is seeking $5 million in damages for false imprisonment and malicious prosecution.

Jamie Walker, Reed’s attorney, said the prosecution was obviously retaliation and suggested Reed was a Good Samaritan whom the city should have commended, not condemned.

Kansas City police spokeswoman Doaa El-Ashkar said in a statement that the police department “regrets all of the circumstances surrounding this incident” but could not comment further because of the pending litigation.

Last week, the City Council&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/db41066b7d28cdca8aad6f3317202cbb">approved</a>&nbsp;an amendment to the city code that ensures witnesses aren’t barred from filming the actions of police officers.

Police arrest suspects for protest confrontation in Topeka

Junction City police are alerting the public about a scam, which they said has been experienced in this area before. Callers are targeting elderly citizens claiming to be a grandchild who has been arrested or in an accident. The caller is "crying" to disguise their voice. They ask the person to wire money to help because the "Grandchild" is too scared to call their parents. 

Police said talk to your parents, grandparents, friends and neighbors about this topic. It is extremely hard to track these transactions that are believed to be sent overseas.

SEDGWICK COUNTY —A Kansas man has been charged in a crash that killed a longtime Wichita radio personality. 

On Friday, 43-year-old Ray Anthony Watkins was charged with involuntary manslaughter while driving under the influence in the April 29 death of 70-year-old Don Hall, according to the Sedgwick County Attorney's office.

The felony carries a sentence of 3 to 14 years in prison, according to an email from District Attorney Marc Bennett.

 Police said they believe Watkins ran a red light before the crash. He had minor injuries, but Hall died at the scene. Watkins was originally arrested on suspicion of second-degree murder.

SEDGWICK COUNTY — Law enforcement authorities are investigating a fatal traffic crash and have made an arrest.

Just before 4:30 a.m. Wednesday, police responded to an injury accident at Kellogg and Rock Road, according to officer Charley Davidson.

Upon arrival, officers located 70-year-old Donald Hall of Wichita in critical condition and pinned inside of his vehicle.&nbsp;

Wichita Fire Department crews removed Hall from the vehicle &nbsp;and he was pronounced deceased on the scene, according to Davidson. &nbsp;Hall was a longtime Wichita radio host and Wichita State University basketball announcer, according to Hall’s employer, Entercom Communications.

The investigation revealed a 2000 Lincoln driven by Ray Watkins, 43, Wichita, was southbound on Rock Road and collided with an eastbound 2012 Lincoln that had exited onto Kellogg Drive to turn north on Rock Road.

It appears at this time that Watkins ran a red light before colliding with Hall, according to Davidson.

Based on evidence found in Watkins’ vehicle and on his person, alcohol, and drugs are believed to be a factor in the accident. &nbsp;

Watkins was contacted at the scene with minor injuries and was arrested without incident on requested charges of 2nd-degree murder, according to Davidson.

Watkins has been previously arrested and convicted of a charge of aggravated robbery, according to the Kansas Department of Corrections.

“This is a very sad and tragic case,” Chief Gordon Ramsay said.&nbsp; “Don was a big part of the Wichita community for many years. He will be missed.&nbsp; WPD continues its thoughts and prayers for the Hall family and all those affected by this unfortunate incident.”

KANSAS CITY, KAN.&nbsp;– The FBI is offering a $100,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of anyone responsible for the death of Alonzo Brooks. Brooks’ body was found in a creek in La Cygne, Kan., on May 1, 2004.

U.S. Attorney Stephen McAllister and FBI Special Agent in Charge Timothy Langan announced the reward during a press conference in Kansas City Thursday.

 McAllister and the FBI reopened the investigation over a year ago. They have reviewed evidence going back 16 years, re-interviewed many witnesses who attended a party at a farmhouse where Brooks was last seen alive, interviewed new witnesses and collected all available physical and forensic evidence.

“We are investigating whether Alonzo was murdered,” McAllister said. “His death certainly was suspicious, and someone, likely multiple people, know(s) what happened that night in April 2004. It is past time for the truth to come out. The code of silence must be broken. Alonzo’s family deserves to know the truth, and it is time for justice to be served.”

“There are many unanswered questions that surround Alonzo’s death,” Langan said. “Someone knows something and we are hopeful that with the passage of time and this significant reward this renewed effort will produce results and provide closure for the Brooks family.”

The FBI is investigating Brooks’ death as a potential racially-motivated crime. Brooks, who was 23 years old at the time he died, was one of only three African-American men at the party he attended with approximately 100 people at a farmhouse on the outskirts of La Cygne. Brooks, who lived in Gardner, Kan., rode to the party with friends, but they left before him, and Brooks eventually had no ride home.

When Brooks failed to come home the next day, his family and friends contacted the Linn County Sheriff’s Department.

From the beginning, there were rumors that Brooks had been the victim of foul play. Some said Brooks may have flirted with a girl, some said drunken white men wanted to fight an African-American male, and some said racist whites simply resented Brooks’ presence.

After the party, two troubling facts were indisputable: Alonzo could not be found; and no one who attended the party would admit to knowing what happened to him.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; According to reports at the time, the Sheriff’s Department and other law enforcement agencies searched areas around the farmhouse, including parts of nearby Middle Creek, but did not find Alonzo.

After Alonzo had been missing for almost a month, a group of his family and friends organized a search. They began on the road near the farmhouse and walked the two branches of Middle Creek. In just under an hour, they found Alonzo’s body, partially on top of a pile of brush and branches in the creek.

Because Alonzo died in 2004 and because of the lapse of time between his disappearance and discovery of his body, forensic analysis of the physical evidence at the time was limited. The official autopsy performed in 2004 did not determine a cause of death.

“I have stood under the trees on the bank of Middle Creek where Alonzo’s body was found,” McAllister said. “It is a quiet place of profound sadness to one who knows its history, but no answers are there. I am convinced, however, that there are people who know the answers, people who have been keeping terrible secrets all these years and bearing a horrible burden. We are asking one or more of them to come forward now and to lay down that burden at last, so that we can ease a family’s suffering, and serve the cause of justice.”

This reward is being offered for information that leads to the arrest, prosecution and conviction of the individual or individuals that may be responsible for Alonzo’s death. Anyone with information is encouraged to call the FBI at 816-512-8200 or 816-474-TIPS or submit a tip online at fbi.tips.gov

KANSAS CITY (AP) — Kansas City officials have advanced a measure that would drop misdemeanor charges against those who took part in peaceful street protests to decry racial injustice and police brutality following the&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/b3ec2c265b33d4135e4d0e86cb67d347">police-involved killing&nbsp;</a>of George Floyd in Minneapolis.

The City Council is considering legislation offered by Councilman Brandon Ellington to prevent many protesters from being prosecuted, as long as they didn’t commit a violent crime or damage property, the Kansas City Star&nbsp;<a href="https://www.kansascity.com/news/politics-government/article243392811.html">reported</a>. The council’s Special Committee on Legal Review voted 3-1 on Tuesday to advance the legislation. The full City Council is expected to hear the proposal next week.

More than 220 people who took to the streets from May 29 through June 2 were arrested, officials have said. Ellington’s proposal would bar the city from prosecuting those who were arrested during the protests under city laws that deal with such minor offenses as disorderly conduct, disturbing the peace, defacing property, creating a nuisance, trespassing and loitering.

Supporters of the ordinance say police incited unrest by showing up in riot gear, pepper spraying the crowd and deploying tear gas.

Sheri Hall, who testified Tuesday in favor of the ordinance, said she saw that most protesters were peaceful and tried to discourage more violent conduct.

“When you have people militarized against you, it raises the tension of everybody in the room,” she said. “People were in riot gear, and there was no riot.”

Opponents of the proposal say the move could encourage lawlessness. Brad Lemon, president of the local police union, said it could also set a bad precedent.

“When we start talking about changing these arrests and changing how we handle these, down the road when there’s a subject out here that you don’t like and individuals that you don’t support come out and start protesting, what are you going to do about those arrests?” Lemon said.
