A 31-year-old man charged with aggravated battery was bound over for trial Wednesday afternoon after the victim in the case testified about what happened during a party in the early morning hours of August 4.

James “Jonathon Allen” Dean will face arraignment on November 4, in front of Judge Trish Rose.

The victim, Jeffrey Kinney testified to coming to a neighbors home to return a dog and then asked if he could go four wheeling in his back field. It was then that Dean apparently decided he wanted to go along. During the drive to the field is when Dean allegedly stabbed him three times, on his hand, in his stomach area and also on the left side of his chest. He says they had no real conversation prior to the incident. He says Dean then pushed him from his own truck, with the truck then running over him. He says he then ran toward where the others at the party were at.

It was around 2:15 a-m, when Reno County Sheriff’s Deputies and Reno County EMS were dispatched to 11-thousand block of East 30th for the report of the stabbing. That led to Dean’s arrest.

Kinney was the states only witness during the hearing Wednesday in front of Magistrate Judge Randy McEwen.

Dean is no stranger to law enforcement having been convicted and served time in prison for aggravated robbery in McPherson County in 2002 and attempted theft in Harvey County in 2003.
