HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A man who was arrested over the weekend by Hutchinson police made a first appearance Monday morning on a charge of aggravated battery-domestic violence and criminal damage to property. The incident occurred just after 2 Sunday morning.

Steven LeFevers is jailed on a $10,250 bond. The victim appeared in court and told the judge that they are new to the community. The victim requested the judge not put a no-contact order in place because LeFevers doesn’t know anyone and there would be no one to help him. District Judge Trish Rose didn’t take up the issue during open court, but instead had the victim speak with Assistant District Attorney Valerie Hanson after court.

LeFevers is expected to appear in court again on Dec. 10 for the formal reading of any charges.
