HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A 42-year-old Hutchinson man was arrested early Friday morning after he allegedly battered a woman in the 600 block of North Poplar.

The female victim said she was battered by Cedric Hooper after he drove by her house and stopped. He spotted her standing in her yard and asked her to come to the vehicle, where they began talking, but then argued. He then opened his vehicle door and knocked the victim to the ground.

He also talked with another victim and had what was thought to be a handgun. Hooper eventually left. The male victim went inside the home and called police. The weapon turned out to be a BB gun.

Hooper was arrested for aggravated assault and battery. His bond was set at $5,500.
