Hutchinson woman convicted of 3 counts of aggravated assault scheduled for sentencing

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A 35-year-old woman who was charged with three counts of attempted murder in the second degree and entered pleas to lesser counts is scheduled to be sentenced on Thursday.

The state made a plea offer to Nicole Green and she apparently entered pleas to three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. The attempted murder charges as well as a charge of intentionally firing into a vehicle were all dropped by the state.

Green was arrested for an incident back on Feb. 21 that started at Walmart and then ended when the victim’s vehicle struck the southwest side of the Midas Muffler and Brake Shop. She was accused of firing into the vehicle, forcing the vehicle off the road and into the local business.

Sentencing is scheduled for Thursday afternoon in front of Judge Joe McCarville.

Suspect in motel standoff from last week makes court appearance

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A 30-year-old Hutchinson man wanted by police was taken into custody last week after a standoff at a local motel. He has been formally charged with crimes associated with that incident.

Darrell Beachy is charged with felony theft, theft by deception and interference with law enforcement. The state alleges that, on May 13, he stole two vehicles, a 1981 Buick Regal and a 1977 Buick Century.

He also is alleged to have obtained money by deceptive means by false statements or representation to the victim. That crime allegedly occurred on May 29.

The final count is in regard to the incident where Hutchinson Police Detective Curtis Black attempted to make contact with Beachy and he allegedly ran from the officer.

The incident on that date started around 5 a.m. on June 4 when police were alerted that he was in a motel room at the Sunflower Inn on East 4th. That led to a standoff for a time, with the defendant found in one of the rooms and taken into custody.

The case against him will now move to a future waiver-status docket.
