The cases against a 23-year-old Hutchinson man which have been on hold while the defense tries to work out a deal with the state on all of his cases moved forward Wednesday.

Leonardo J. Velázquez-Vieyra has been on community corrections for convictions of aggravated battery, theft, sale of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia for growing marijuana and no tax stamp and those corrections were revoked. However, he has not been ordered to prison thus far.

Velázquez-Vieyra was arrested in October on charges of aggravated kidnapping, aggravated battery, aggravated assault and felony theft. In court, he entered guilty pleas to aggravated battery, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of marijuana from another case which was merged into the battery case. The state dropped all other charges against him.

The aggravated battery case apparently involves the mother of his child and started with a domestic dispute, where he allegedly held the victim against her will, caused injury with a vehicle, caused her to fear for her safety and allegedly take a vehicle without permission.

He had four drug cases pending and they were for the most part dropped by the state.

Sentencing on Tuesday’s guilty pleas will be on April 26, and they will also decide the disposition of the community corrections violation at that time.

One of those cases involves the shooting of Jordan Thomas. He and another man had shown up at an east-side Hutchinson apartment where Velázquez-Vieyra was staying, and Thomas was shot in the face with a shotgun. He lost his left eye as a result.
