Hutch man formally charged in kidnapping case

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A 40-year-old jailed on some serious charges after a domestic case has been formally charged.

Jeffery Kennedy was taken into custody around 11:40 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 12. He is now charged with kidnapping, misdemeanor battery, interference with law enforcement and violating a protection from abuse order.

He was allegedly seen dragging a woman by her hair back into a Hutchinson home. Police were called. When officers arrived, no one would answer the door. At one point, officers saw someone look through the curtains. Officers eventually forced their way in and found Kennedy and the victim inside. She had a small cut under her eye. Kennedy had a bump on his head because the victim allegedly threw a lamp at him in self-defense.

Kennedy remains jailed on a bond of $101,750. He will be back in court on Oct. 16.
