HUTCHINSON, Kan. — ­­ A Hutchinson woman was sentenced to nearly 13 years in prison for her role in the strangulation death of a Hutchinson woman last summer.  Jamie Hatfield was given the sentence Friday afternoon in Reno County District Court.

Hatfield had recently entered a guilty plea to intentional second-degree murder in the strangulation death of 38-year-­old Mary Ann Arnett in June of last year. Arnett’s body was found in a dry creek bed near Nickerson. She was strangled with a cell phone cord, according to autopsy reports.

Family members of Arnett were present, but did not speak during the hearing.

Prosecutors say Hatfield and Jonathan Perser-­Wilson were involved in Arnett’s death. Perser­-Wilson was shot and killed by police during a confrontation the day after Arnett’s body was found.

Arnett and Hatfield had previously dated, but when Arnett’s body was found, Hatfield was in a relationship with Wilson.
