HUTCHINSON — A Kansas man who has served time for attempted murder and conspiracy to commit murder was sentenced to nearly seven years in prison following his sentencing in two felony cases Thursday in Reno County District Court.

Thirty-eight-year-old Armando Fierro of Hutchinson was sentence to&nbsp; 83-months.

 Fierro pleaded guilty to lesser charges of aggravated domestic battery, aggravated arson and aggravated child endangerment on March 6th. He was facing a charge of kidnapping in the case. He was also sentenced for possession of meth and DUI in a separate case.

Fierro was arrested on June 6th, 2019 during a domestic disturbance. Police were called on the report of an aggravated battery. The victim was able to escape and call the police.

When officers entered the home, they could see pillows in the living room had been set on fire near where a propane tank was sitting.

Fierro’s prior convictions include attempted murder in the shotgun shooting of Lloyd Eddens, back in 2000. He served 14 years in that case.

KANSAS CITY (AP) — The mayor of Kansas City, Missouri, is backing an ordinance that would strike possession of marijuana from the municipal code, a move that would eliminate even fines for those who possess marijuana.

Mayor Quinton Lucas said in a news release Thursday that he would introduce the ordinance with all four black members of the City Council. Lucas said eliminating laws that disproportionately affect black people can help “improve police-community relations."

Missourians voted in 2018 to legalize medical marijuana, but recreational use of the drug remains illegal. In Kansas City, voters in 2017 decided to reduce the penalties for possession to a $25 fine.

Although black and white people have comparable rates of usage, black people are 3.6 times more likely than whites to be arrested for possession of marijuana, according to the American Civil Liberties Union.

The news release described the move as one of many taken by Lucas and the City Council to create a “more equitable community.” Earlier this year, the mayor's office launched a pardon program for past nonviolent, minor municipal marijuana offenses.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — Police say a woman has been arrested in a deadly hit-and-run crash over the weekend in Kansas City, Kansas. 

Police say 25-year-old Kendra Womack turned herself in shortly after fleeing the scene of the early Sunday crash. 

Investigators say Womack was driving a sport utility vehicle eastbound when she broadsided a car at an intersection. 

The driver of the car, 42-year-old Myron Gardner of Kansas City, Kansas, died at the scene, and two other adults and two children in the car were injured. 

Police say Womack fled the crash on foot. Womack has been charged with failure to stop at an accident resulting in death. She is being held in the Wyandotte County Jail on $100,000 bond.

O'FALLON, Mo. (AP) — A white suburban St. Louis police detective who was captured on video apparently hitting a black suspect with a police SUV then kicking and punching the man was charged Wednesday with two counts of assault and armed criminal action.

Special Prosecutor Tim Lohmar announced the charges against Florissant Detective Joshua Smith, 31,&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/0fe99145d556b5687a881f6845fc7082">who was fired</a>&nbsp;June 10. The violent arrest June 2 came amid nationwide protests and unrest sparked by the police killing of&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/0fe99145d556b5687a881f6845fc7082">George Floyd</a>&nbsp;in Minneapolis.

“It’s situations like this that good cops hate because it makes everybody look bad,” Lohmar said at a news conference.

About one-third of Florissant’s 51,000 residents are black. The St. Louis suburb is just north of Ferguson, where&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/9aa32033692547699a3b61da8fd1fc62">Michael Brown’s death</a>&nbsp;at the hands of a white police officer in 2014 was a catalyst for the&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/347ceac3ea08978358c8c05a0d9ec37c">Black Lives Matter</a>&nbsp;movement. The St. Louis region has been the site of dozens of protests since Floyd’s May 25 death.

The arrest happened a day after&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/83b1ecab54f039bbd30346a218a4c994">four St. Louis police officers</a>&nbsp;were shot and a retired St. Louis police captain was fatally shot during a violent night in the city. Florissant Police Chief Timothy Fagan has said Smith was on duty because of civil unrest in the area.

Officers were pursuing a vehicle occupied by three men because it had been seen near an earlier shots-fired incident, Florissant Mayor Tim Lowery said. The pursuit ended on a residential street in nearby Dellwood.

What happened next was captured by a resident’s doorbell camera and posted online by media outlet Real STL News soon thereafter.

Attorneys for the 20-year-old man who was struck released a second video Tuesday, from another home’s security camera, closer and with a different angle. It shows a car slowing on a residential street. Two men in the front seat jump out of the still rolling car, before a third man jumps out of the back seat.

The unmarked police SUV appears from behind the car and drives across part of the front lawn, striking the third man and knocking him onto the driveway as he loudly cries out in pain. An officer gets out of the SUV and appears to kick and hit the man on the ground as the man yells out, “OK! OK! OK!” and repeatedly says, “I don’t have nothing.”

“When you see the second video it’s clear that he intentionally ran into him and used the vehicle as a weapon,” the man’s attorney, Jerryl T. Christmas, said. “It’s difficult to watch, and difficult to listen to the audio because of the way he’s screaming and hollering.”

One of the assault charges against Smith is a felony, the other a misdemeanor. The armed criminal action charge, a felony, was filed because the officer used the vehicle as a weapon, Lohmar said, calling it a “4,000-pound missile.”

The range of punishment for both felonies is 10 to 30 years in prison, Lohmar said. Anyone convicted of armed criminal action must serve a minimum of three years in prison.

Smith’s attorney, Scott Rosenblum, has said what happened was an accident. He did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment Wednesday.

Smith's police report said the man darted in front of him and he tried to swerve to miss him, Lohmar said.

“The video evidence just proves that is patently false,” Lohmar said.

Fagan said the man was treated at the hospital for an ankle injury, but Christmas said his injuries were far worse. He said the man’s leg was “shattered” and required multiple surgeries.

“He was traumatized,” Christmas said.

Fagan said police are seeking municipal charges against all three men for possession of drug paraphernalia and resisting arrest. No weapons were found on the men or in their car.

In addition to Lohmar’s investigation of the officer, U.S. Attorney Jeff Jensen said his office, the Civil Rights Division at the Department of Justice and the FBI also are reviewing the case to determine if a federal response is warranted.

The arrest led to several&nbsp;<a href="https://time.com/5849983/missouri-police-strike-man-car/">peaceful protests</a>&nbsp;outside police headquarters in Florissant, including a “die-in” in which participants lay face down with their hands behind their backs. A few dozen protesters also gathered Monday outside Lohmar’s office urging prosecution of Smith.

Fagan called it “a sad day for the Florissant Police Department but an important day for the community.” He said he wanted the community to know that officers who break the law will be held accountable.

Police officer accused of striking man with SUV is charged

BARTON COUNTY —Law enforcement authorities are investigating a Kansas teen on numerous charges after an arrest with the help of an alert citizen.

Just after 1:30p.m. Tuesday,&nbsp; deputies were in the area of a driving complaint in the city of Great Bend after a concerned citizen had called 911 reporting a vehicle driving recklessly in the area of 10th and McKinley, according to Sheriff Brian Bellendir.

The vehicle was located at about 1:56 PM by a Deputy Sheriff in the 5800 block of 10th Street. The deputy attempted to stop the vehicle at which point it fled. 

A short chase ensued and eventually the vehicle proceeded south on McKinley from 10th Street and the driver attempted to make a right- turn at 2nd and McKinley.

The driver lost control and ran over a stop sign. The driver then exited the vehicle while still moving and fled on foot. An alert citizen in the area saw the suspect fleeing from law enforcement and was able to intercept and restrain him until the deputies caught up.

Deputies arrested Brayden Powell-Rand age 19 of Great Bend and booked him on requested charges of felony attempt to flee and elude, numerous traffic violations and probation violation warrants. He is being held in lieu of a $30,000 bond, according to Bellendir.

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

Just after 2 a.m. June 8, 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 later identified as&nbsp;Kaeden Murphy was taken to an area hospital for treatment of a serious injury.

The investigation revealed a 42-year-old man 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; 

Murphy and Hidalgo 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.

On Sunday police reported&nbsp;Kaeden Murphy had been moved to jail and is <a href="https://ssc.sedgwickcounty.org/sheriffinmates/SheriffInmateDetail.aspx?nameId=20062884">being held on requested </a>charges of aggravated burglary, theft, burglary, criminal possession of a firearm, criminal possession of a firearm and a drug violation, according to online jail records.

2nd Kansas burglary suspect moved from hospital to jail

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — A man who was shot and killed by Kansas law enforcement was wanted in a Nebraska killing.

Omaha, Nebraska, police identified the man killed Monday in Lawrence, Kansas, as 31-year-old Nicholas Hirsh, a white man who faced a first-degree murder arrest warrant for the shooting death Thursday of John Miles, 41, of Council Bluffs, Iowa.

Craig Beam, chief deputy for the Kansas division of the U.S. Marshals Service, said it appeared that the suspect had been in Kansas since Friday, when a car was stolen from Clay Center. He said the Marshals Service was helping to look for the vehicle when the Kansas Highway Patrol spotted it near Perry Lake in northeast Kansas. Beam said it was possible that the suspect had been camping there.

“Obviously he knew he was wanted,” Beam said. “He got spooked and took off”″

Troopers pursued the vehicle into Lawrence, where they eventually were able to stop it using tactical maneuvers that caused it to spin and come to a halt, the patrol said. The patrol said the man got out of his vehicle and pointed a gun in the direction of two troopers and an officer with a local law enforcement agency, and they exchanged gunfire. It’s not clear how many of the officers fired their weapons or which officer shot and killed the suspect.

Beam said a woman who also was in the vehicle was taken into custody for questioning.

No officers were hurt. The Johnson County, Kansas, Sheriff’s Office, which wasn’t involved in the chase or shooting, will investigate. The troopers involved will be placed on administrative leave during the investigation, which is standard practice.

DOUGLAS COUNTY— Law enforcement authorities are investigating a fatal officer-involved shooting in Lawrence.

Just after 3p.m. Monday, the Kansas Highway Patrol was assisting the US Marshal's service around Perry Lake, according to a media release.

The subject was located and initiated a pursuit with KHP.

A State Trooper intervened with the vehicle and caused it to become disabled in the area of 19th and Massachusetts in Lawrence.

The suspect exited the vehicle and exchanged gunfire with troopers and an officer from a local agency. The suspect, a white male, was shot and died at the scene, according to the KHP.&nbsp; &nbsp;

Officers were not injured. A female passenger in the vehicle was also taken into custody.

As is standard practice, the trooper has been placed on administrative leave while the investigation continues. The Johnson County Sheriff's office is in charge of the investigation.&nbsp; The name of the suspect has not been release.

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.

FINNEY COUNTY — Law enforcement authorities are investigating a violent attack on a woman.

Just before midnight Thursday, police were called to the 3300 block of Amy Street in Garden City in reference to a battery-in-progress, according to&nbsp;Sergeant Lana Urteaga.
