HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A 37-year-old man who served time for attempted murder, conspiracy to commit murder and aggravated burglary finds himself jailed in a serious domestic case.

Armando Fierro is jailed on a $100,000 bond for aggravated battery-domestic violence, aggravated assault, aggravated arson and aggravated endangerment of a child.

It started on June 6 when police were called on the report of an aggravated battery. When they arrived, they found the victim who told them she had been beaten by her boyfriend. Fierro is accused of striking her with some type of cord, putting a towel around her neck and dragging her across the floor.

At some point, he then brought in a propane tank and threatened more violence against her and her three disabled children. The victim was able to escape and call police.

When officers entered the home, they could see pillows in the living room had been set on fire near where the propane tank was sitting.

Fierro left the home before police arrived. On Friday, June 7, officers located Fierro’s vehicle on the west side of town. They called in the Emergency Response Team as a precaution because of his past violent behavior. Authorities called out to Fierro. He came out right away and was taken into custody.

His prior convictions came after the shotgun shooting of Lloyd Eddens, who collapsed on his neighbor’s front porch after being shot in his home.

Fierro later admitted to shooting Eddens accidentally. That was back in 2000.

Fierro will be back in court next Monday for the formal reading of charges in the new case.
