UPDATE: Suspect in aggravated assault case bound over for trial

Alonzo Moore 2

HUTCHINSON, Kan. – A 35-year-old man was bound over for trial Thursday morning by Judge Joe McCarville on an amended complaint.

Alonzo Moore was arrested on June 30 and is now charged with two counts of aggravated assault and criminal threat.

In one incident, he allegedly threatened a 17-year-old female with a knife in the 200 block of East 4th at a local Burger King.

The victim testified that she had just gotten off work and a friend was having car trouble so she went to help. Moore was allegedly bugging her friend and the victim asked him to leave. He allegedly refused and then pulled a knife, waving it in the air toward the victim.

Another man testified that he was there helping his sister with her car and also felt threatened by Moore, so much so, that he got back in his truck, locked the door and called 911.

He told the court that Moore kept asking, “do we have a problem here?” while holding the knife. He says he told the defendant he had a problem with him having that knife. He says he felt uneasy or uncomfortable at that point and that’s why he went and got in his truck.

Another witness told the court that he was approaching the victim holding the knife and waving in a stabbing motion.

Apparently an hour earlier, Moore also threatened a worker at a local motel. That is why the state added an additional charge of criminal threat.

With him being bound over for trial, he’ll be arraigned on the charges next Tuesday.

Moore is no stranger to the law, having served time in prison for convictions of aggravated assault, two counts of theft and flee and elude for cases going back to 2012.
