HUTCHINSON, Kan. — One of four people from Wichita suspected of being involved with an attempted robbery at the Kansas State Fairgrounds waived his preliminary hearing and entered a plea to a single count of attempted robbery.

Richard Fenters was charged with attempted robbery and conspiracy to commit robbery, but entered the plea to the single count as part of a plea agreement.
He was arrested with Kerrah Shulze, Blaine White and Kaleb Beard. They were suspected of driving from Wichita and plotting to rob Armando Castillo Jr. of Mineral Wells, Texas, on May 10.
Castillo was reportedly confronted by four individuals while inside his fifth-wheel camper. He was battered but was able to grab a firearm he had hidden in the camper. Castillo fired a couple of shots to alert neighbors to call 911.
Everyone involved was still on scene when officers arrived. No injuries were reported from the gunfire. During the investigation, it was discovered that the suspects came to Castillo’s camper to get cash.
District Judge Joe McCarville set sentencing for July 19. Assistant District Attorney Andrew Davidson says Fenters is looking at presumptive probation because of his lack of criminal history and the low-level felony.
The charges against the other three are still pending.
