HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Reno County District Judge Trish Rose denied a request of a 36-year-old Hutchinson man to represent himself during any hearing in a habeas corpus civil filing. Todd Lloyd also sought to have Judge Rose recuse herself which was also denied.

Lloyd is serving over 18 years in prison in a kidnapping case, as well as other convictions.

Todd Lloyd is serving time for holding his girlfriend at knife-point, but also threatening the lives of two Hutchinson Police officers during a court hearing on the kidnapping case.

Lloyd was found guilty for threatening Sgt. Josh Radloff and Sgt. Eric Buller after a bench trial. Both officers worked the kidnapping case. Lloyd looked directly at the officers after the verdict and threatened to kill them if he ever got out of jail.

He was arrested on April 23, 2014, when he came close to being shot by both Hutchinson officers during the altercation with his girlfriend. He eventually threw the knife down and after a brief struggle, was taken into custody.

A habeas corpus motion is filed when a defendant has exhausted all appeals in his case. Lloyd will have another hearing on Oct. 4.

He’s currently serving his sentence at the Ellsworth Correctional Facility.
