After a 26-year-old Hutchinson man jailed for four cases entered pleas in two of them was sentenced to prison for 2-years Friday morning by Judge Tim Chambers, while he also awaits another case moving through the court.
Jacob Henson entered a guilty plea to aggravated battery after he and another inmate got into fight inside the jail annex back on June 19. Apparently the fight between the two had to do with issues they had with each other outside the jail. The victim, Joshua Holmes suffered a broken jaw and broken finger as result. He was apparently upset with Holmes for allegedly breaking up his marriage.
He also entered guilty pleas to charges of possession of methamphetamine, possession of marijuana with a prior conviction, two counts of possession of a controlled substance, namely prescription drugs, both with a prior convictions and possession of drug paraphernalia. All of these crimes occurring back on March 7, 2013.
Judge Chambers gave him the 24-months for count 1, aggravated battery, then ran the other sentences concurrent to that sentence.
He has other cases pending including theft by deception, and other drug charges. As we told you earlier this week, Henson was arrested by police Monday morning in the 100 block of West 12th on a warrant for failing to appear on the theft charge. He was apparently uncooperative with law enforcement leading to him being tased according to statements made in court.
They then allegedly found drugs on his person, including oxycodone, alprazolam, marijuana and methamphetamine. He was also allegedly in possession of drug paraphernalia.
In court Friday morning, he asked for corrections saying he wants treatment for his drug addiction and wanted to be able to be a father to his three kids. But, Judge Chambers couldn’t find a reason to depart and sentenced him to prison in the earlier cases.
Henson is expected back in court on October 23, for a status hearing on his latest arrest. Bond set at 25-thousand, however with him ordered to prison, the bond is kind of moot at this point.
