Hutch man charged by the state with two off-grid felonies involving child porn

Posted on

HUTCHINSON – A local man is facing two felony charges involving child pornography.

Jeremy Seachris has been charged with aggravated internet trading of child pornography of a child under the age of 14 and sexual exploitation of a child.

The crimes are alleged to have occurred between Dec. 13 and Jan. 25.

Both charges are off-grid person felonies under Jessica’s Law, meaning he could receive a life sentence for both counts if convicted.

Seachris is free on bond and is scheduled to be back in court on July 27.

Smallville Con brings crowds and celebrities

Posted on

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Another Smallville Con has come and gone in Hutchinson with good crowds both days, according to promoter Jon Robinson. He says the threat of bad weather did slow things down a bit Saturday night.

This event included numerous vendors as well as celebrity guests. One of those was Miah Kane, who is known for being a part of a number of series on the Travel Channel and the Discovery Network channels. Kane grew up in Hutchinson, but moved to Arizona as a teenager. He now makes his home in Brooklyn, New York. He talked about his childhood in Hutchinson.

“I lived in Hutchinson until I was 17 years old, my mom and two older brothers all relocated to Phoenix, Arizona, so I moved there back in ’95,” Kane said. “While in Hutchinson, I spent a lot of time just hanging out, a lot of my friends were skateboarders.” He says he does come back to Hutchinson, usually around Christmas.

Kane says his career in entertainment started when he and his two brothers started a band called “Blessed Be Thy Name.” That stint in music led to short films and eventually he studied acting at the Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute in New York City. He then started with plays and eventually roles for cable.

“My first year out of acting school I did a lot of theater and I was lucky enough to do three off-Broadway plays,” Kane said. He then managed to get a show on the Travel Channel called “Mysteries at the Museum.”

Some of the shows he’s known for also include “A Crime to Remember” in 2013, “The Perfect Murder” in 2014 and “First Kiss” in 2017.

Kane says coming back to Hutchinson is refreshing because there are so many people in New York and in Brooklyn. The buildings sometimes make you feel confined. He says coming back to Kansas or Arizona is nice because you actually have wide open spaces and things move a little slower.

UPDATE: Police investigating Monday morning stabbing

Posted on

Updated at 5:11 p.m.

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Police and other emergency personnel were called to the report of a stabbing just before 8 a.m. Monday at an apartment in the 500 block of East 3rd.

A 64-year-old male and his 35-year-old daughter got into an argument. Both were injured. The daughter was treated for her cut wounds at Hutchinson Regional Medical Center while the father was taken to a Wichita hospital.

Hutchinson police investigate Monday morning’s stabbing.

“Neither have been very cooperative and the story doesn’t make sense,” Hutchinson Police Lt. Dustin Leopp said. Leopp says illegal drugs may be involved.

He says it may be a couple of days before they know exactly what happened. No arrests have been made. Because it is a domestic case, Leopp couldn’t release the names.

Original story

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Police and other emergency personnel were called to the report of a stabbing just before 8 a.m. Monday at an apartment in the 500 block of East 3rd.

According to scanner traffic, the victim — believed to be in his 50s — was stabbed in the neck. A woman also in the apartment was wounded, but she may be the suspect in the stabbing, according to Hutchinson Police Chief Jeffrey Hooper. Hooper said he did not know at this point if it was a domestic case. Hooper said there is a lot of blood.

The victim was taken to Hutchinson Regional Medical Center in critical condition and a medical helicopter was requested.

More details will be made available as they are released.
