UPDATE: 16-Year-Old Convicted In Church Burglaries Will Get Hearing On His Corrections Violation

The 16-year-old arrested in association with church burglaries in the Hutchinson area was before Judge Judge Tim Chambers again Friday on a community corrections violation, however his attorney, Bonnie Corrado asked that there be a evidentiary hearing in the matter.

Joshua Hickey had been sentenced back in November to 32-months in prison, but then granted 24-months community corrections. According to the states allegations, he violated his corrections for smoking marijuana and also failing to report to his corrections officer at least once.

Judge Tim Chambers says he’ll set a time next week for the hearing, but didn’t give a specific date or time.

Hickey was found guilty of 15 counts of burglary, 15 counts of criminal damage and 8 counts of theft. Hickey is not only suspected in the burglary of churches, but also burglaries of the Dillon’s at 13th & Main, the Pic-Quik on South Main and Hutchinson High School.

Hickey is one of four people suspected in the church burglaries. The others include 24-year-old Justin Branscom, 19-year-old Jordon Schmucker and Desiree Mahoney.

Mahoney who is charged with four counts of burglary entered not guilty pleas in her case this morning in front of Judge Trish Rose, so she may face a jury trial.
