Two locals suspected of stealing from mail boxes formally charged

Richard Manion 2

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Two people were back before a judge Thursday morning where they was read the formal charges against them.

Richard Manion and Aubrey Ramsey are both charged with criminal use of a financial card and felony theft. The thefts have to do with stealing mail from three locations in the county, one of which included a Chase credit card. The card was sent to one of the victims and had not been activated. Then came reports that in four days, it had been used at 25 different locations in Hutchinson and McPherson, 19 of which occurred in Hutchinson, which totaled over $1,000. Video was obtained showing Manion and Ramsey using the cards at various locations.

Plus, three motel rooms were rented with Manion using his own name and vehicle information. The signatures matched those of Ramsey. This all occurred in November and December.

Manion also has two other cases pending on drug charges for arrest going back to Aug. 26 in one case and Feb. 18 on the other. Ramsey is also charged in that case.

He remains jailed on a $250,000 bond and Ransey’s is set at $100,000. She tried again to get it lowered Thursday morning which was again denied.

The latest cases against the two moves to a waiver-status docket on Jan. 13.
