A 41-year-old Burrton man guilty of all charges associated with the accident where he struck another man with his motorcycle causing him to loose his leg was granted 18-months probation on a 24-month underlying sentence.

Robby Heironimus was found guilty of leaving the scene of an injury accident which is a felony because of injuries occurring. Other charges include failing to report an accident, driving while suspended, failing to give information and having an illegal tag

It was back on May 12 of last year when Heironimus was riding his Silver Honda VTX 1100 CC, and struck 26-year-old Jeffrey Nusser as he attempted to cross Main at 19th in Hutchinson. Nusser was taken by air-ambulance to Via-Cristi St. Francis Regional Medical Center in Wichita for trauma to his right leg resulting in it being amputated below the knee.

Nusser told the court that everyday he deals with the pain of his injury. He says every step is a painful thing.

Heironimus told the court that he’s sorry that it happened, but then said he holds no hard feelings.

Judge Tim Chambers didn’t buy the argument that he didn’t know he struck someone. He says others on motorcycle’s knew what happened. He also noted that Heironimus believes himself to also be a victim.

The state asked for Heironimus to serve 60-days in the county jail as part of the probation. Judge Chambers took that under advisement for now, but will consider that issue as well as restitution in the case within the next 30-days.
