The cases against a 23-year-old Hutchinson man are once again scheduled to be held Friday in front of Judge Joe McCarville after being continued back in April.

Leonardo J. Velázquez-Vieyra has been on community corrections for convictions of aggravated battery, theft, sale of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia for growing marijuana and no tax stamp and those corrections were revoked. However, he has not been ordered to prison thus far and repeated continuances have kept any decision on that from being made.

Velázquez-Vieyra was arrested in October on charges of aggravated kidnapping, aggravated battery, aggravated assault and felony theft. In court, he entered “guilty” pleas to aggravated battery, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of marijuana from another case which was merged into the battery case. The state dropped all other charges against him.

The aggravated battery case apparently involves the mother of his child and started with a domestic dispute, where he allegedly held the victim against her will, caused injury with a vehicle, caused her to fear for her safety and allegedly take a vehicle without permission.

He also had four drug cases pending which were dropped by the state.

One of those cases involves the shooting of Jordan Thomas. He and another man had shown up at an east-side Hutchinson apartment where Velázquez-Vieyra was staying, and Thomas was shot in the face with a shotgun. He lost his left eye as a result.

The hearing now scheduled for 1:30 p-m, Friday Afternoon.
