Police: 2 jailed for alleged carjacking at Kansas home

SALINE COUNTY —Law enforcement are investigating after a body was found in a home following a standoff and fire in Salina.

Just after 9a.m. on Wednesday, a police observed a subject riding a bicycle on West Walnut Street near South Chicago Street in Salina, according to a social media report from police.

 This officer was aware that the subject had an active Saline County District Court felony burglary warrant for his arrest.

The officer attempted to make contact with the subject but he attempted to evade the officer while still on his bicycle. The officer was able to determine that the subject had run into a residence located at 133 S. Chicago. While officers were outside waiting for backup, several individuals exited the home and stated there was a white male inside who had a gun in his mouth. An individual who exited the home advised that he knew the subject who had burst into his home, and he also confirmed that the subject was in possession of a handgun.

Officers were also advised that there was a female inside and they did not know if she was there of her own free will.

Additional officers and deputies from Saline County Sheriff’s Office arrived on scene and the remaining occupants of this home were ordered to exit with no response.

At 10:06 a.m., the SWAT Team and Crisis Negotiation Team were called out to attempt to resolve this incident involving a barricaded and armed suspect with a possible hostage.

Continuous efforts were made to communicate with the occupants via a PA system from a patrol vehicle.

At 11:30 a.m., a phone was delivered to the front porch by SWAT officers in an attempt to initiate communications. Over one hour of on-and-off communications occurred between the female and the negotiators and it became clear the female was not being held against her will.

This female advised on several occasions that the male, who she identified by name, was suicidal and had a handgun. She also said several times that he intended to burn the house down if law enforcement personnel tried to make entry.

The male refused to speak with negotiators and also refused to exit the residence per conversations with the female. At no time during the incident did police negotiators speak with the male.

At 12:44 p.m., the female, identified as Danielle Reed of Salina, agreed to exit the residence. She confirmed that the male was the only subject left inside and he did have a handgun. This female was taken into custody for an outstanding District Court felony warrant for a probation violation. Additional charges regarding her actions at this scene are under consideration.

At 12:57 p.m., SWAT officers injected four rounds of CS cold gas into the back of the residence in an effort to have the subject exit. This gas is delivered in a micro-powder form which is not considered flammable as it does not create heat. No officers attempted entry to this home during this standoff.

Approximately two minutes later, a white male was observed in the front portion of the home and within minutes, it was clear there was a fire in the same front portion. Shortly thereafter, officers heard several gun shots from inside the rear of the home.

The Salina Fire Department arrived on scene at 1:04 p.m. and quickly extinguished the fire. A deceased subject was found in the rear portion of the home.

At the time of this release, the Kansas State Fire Marshal was en route to the scene to investigate the origin of the fire.

An autopsy will be conducted to determine the cause of death for the individual found in the home. The identity of the deceased subject is not being released pending next of kin notification.

The Salina Police Department noted that it appreciated the assistance of the Saline County Sheriff’s Office and the Salina Fire Department during this incident.

As this is an ongoing investigation, any further inquiries should be directed to the Kansas State Fire Marshal’s Office, the Salina Fire Department information noted.

Police: Kansas felon attacked officer during arrest at Walmart

SALINE COUNTY— Law enforcement authorities arrested a Kansas man Thursday after he returned to the scene of a crime in Saline County.

Just before 6a.m., deputies were dispatched to the 9900 block of East Riordan Road for the report of two masked subjects who had broken into a residence, according to Saline County Sheriff Roger Soldan.

A 19-year-old man and his 18-year-old girlfriend were awakened by a noise, and found two male subjects wearing ski masks in the residence. One of the subjects was carrying a Highpoint 495 40 caliber rifle.

The man's 83-year-old grandmother also was in the residence at the time, according to the sheriff.

The 19-year-old confronted the two subjects and got into an altercation with the rifle-toting subject, Soldan explained. During the altercation, the 19-year-old was able to take the rifle from the suspect, he said. He also pulled the mask from the suspect's face and recognized him as an acquaintance, Soldan said. The 19-year-old also grabbed his own Ruger SR22 rifle with a scope -- valued at $1,000 -- which the suspect then took from him, Soldan said.

During the altercation, the two crashed through a glass door and the 19-year old was cut, Soldan said. The known suspect fled the scene, he said. By then the other suspect had also fled the scene.

Prior to waking up the residents, the two suspects had placed a 20-inch Apple computer (valued at $700, a 43-inch Vizio television (valued at $400, and a black nylon purse outside the residence.

As sheriff's office investigators went to the house shortly after 11 a.m. Thursday to interview the victims, they were made aware by surveillance that the known suspect, Dvonte Johnson, 19, New Cambria, was back in the area of the residence, Soldan said. They located Johnson and the victim's rifle nearby in a black Nissan Altima. They also arrested Johnson&nbsp; on requested charges of&nbsp; Aggravated burglary, Aggravated robbery, Theft and Battery. The second suspect remains at large.

(AP) — The stepmother of&nbsp; Colorado boy missing for over a month was arrested Monday in connection with his disappearance and presumed death, authorities said.Letecia Stauch was arrested in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and is being extradited to Colorado on charges including first-degree murder of a child in the death of 11-year-old Gannon Stauch, according to El Paso County Sheriff Bill Elder. The boy remains missing.Letecia Stauch was held overnight Wednesday in the Saline County Kansas jail on her return to Colorado, according to online booking records.“All evidence points to the disappearance of Gannon being foul play," FBI Denver special agent Dean Phillips said.The document laying out the reasons for Letecia Stauch’s arrest was sealed and investigators and prosecutors declined to discuss details.It was not known if Stauch has a lawyer representing her yet. She also faces charges including child abuse resulting in death, tampering with a deceased human body and tampering with physical evidence, Elder said.The sheriff’s office previously said that Stauch reported Gannon missing on Jan. 27, saying he left to go to a friend's house in the afternoon. Authorities called him a runaway when it first asked the public for help finding him. Three days later authorities said he was considered a missing and endangered child because of the length of time he had been gone, his age and his reliance on medication. Authorities did not describe the medication.Gannon's mother, Landen Hiott, sobbed during the press conference announcing the arrest, at times leaning on Gannon's father, Al Stauch.“I never thought I would be standing here. It's a nightmare,” Hiott said.Al Stauch, who is married to Letecia Stauch, said in a statement read by a sheriff’s department spokeswoman that the person responsible for his son’s death is someone that he gave more to than anyone else in the world.“And that is a burden I that I will carry with me for a very long time,” Al Stauch's statement said.
