HUTCHINSON, Kan. – A 27-year-old woman who was arrested on a charge of first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit first-degree murder and aggravated intimidation of a witness made a first appearance before a judge Thursday morning.

Jamie Dannielle Hatfield was read the formal complaint already filed by the state and Judge Tim Chambers left the bond at a half million dollars.

Hatfield is accused in the death of 38-year-old Mary Ann Arnett, whose body was found in a creek bed near Nickerson back on June 22.

This case also led to the police shooting of 22-year-old Jonathan P. Wilson. He was shot by police after he reportedly admitted to a person in a home on North Van Buren that he had murdered someone. That led to the confrontation with police and him being shot and killed back on June 23.

Details of how Arnett died and her relationship with Wilson and Hatfield have not been released.

With Hatfield being formally charged, her case was assigned to Wichita Attorney Steve Osburn and the case will move to a waiver-status docket next Wednesday in front of Judge Joe McCarville.
