HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A 26-year-old Hutchinson man bound accused of a number of felony and misdemeanor charges entered pleas to two of the counts against him.
Christopher A. Vanwye entered “no contest” pleas to aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and one count of criminal discharge of a firearm. A second count of criminal discharge of a firearm, possession of stolen property and misdemeanor possession of marijuana were dismissed by the state as part of a plea agreement.
Vanwye is now guilty of threatening his mother’s fiance during an altercation back on Dec. 15, 2014. He’s alleged to have put the gun to the head of Delbert East while threatening him.
Vanwye had then put the gun to his head and his mother pushed the chair he was in and the gun went off, missing her son, but going through a wall, this at a home in the 800 block of West 14th. The bullet then entered a neighbors home through a window and lodged in some drywall in that home.
With Vanwye entering the pleas, Judge Tim Chambers set sentencing for October 2.
