HUTCHINSON — A 36-year-old Hutchinson man serving over 18 years in prison in a kidnapping case as well as other convictions has a civil filing known as a habeas corpus motion pending in front of Reno County District Judge Trish Rose.

Todd Lloyd is serving time for holding his girlfriend at knifepoint, and also threatening two Hutchinson Police officers during a court hearing on the kidnapping case.

During a hearing Friday morning, it was brought to the judge’s attention that Lloyd has filed a motion asking to represent himself during any future hearings.

Rose decided to hear arguments from Lloyd on the motion at an Aug. 23 hearing.

Lloyd was found guilty for threatening Sgt. Josh Radloff and Sgt. Eric Buller after a bench trial. Both officers worked the kidnapping case. Lloyd looked directly at the officers after the verdict and threatened to kill them if he ever got out of jail.

He was arrested April 23, 2014, when he came close to being shot by both Hutchinson officers during an altercation where he held his girlfriend at knifepoint. He eventually threw the knife down and, after a brief struggle, was taken into custody.

He’s currently serving his sentence at the Ellsworth Correctional Facility.
