HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Both suspects arrested back on April 27 in an aggravated battery and assault case in Nickerson have been formally charged by the state.

Daniel Gobble and Darion Esguerra are now charged with aggravated battery, two counts of aggravated assault and criminal damage to property.

The men, both 21, are accused of coming to a residence with a BB gun, a 22-caliber rifle and a bat. During the incident, the male victim was allegedly shot in the leg with the BB gun. One of the two suspects also fired the BB gun and shattered a glass door. They then left the scene.

Any future hearings are pending the two hire attorneys. Magistrate Judge Cheryl Allen gave them each a couple of weeks to hire an attorney.

Both are free on bond.
