Man convicted for aggravated battery last year charged in new case

Chauncey Brownfield 2

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A 34-year-old Hutchinson man sentenced back in December to two years and five months in prison after being convicted of aggravated battery was back before a judge Thursday where the state has charged him with another count of aggravated battery.

Chauncey Brownfield is charged with the battery count for allegedly attacking Cale Bookout back on Dec. 15, 2015.

A jury had found him guilty of aggravated battery, but couldn’t reach a verdict for aggravated robbery.

The victim was at a local motel at 14 W. 4th and says he was attacked by Brownfield and that he took an iPhone 6+ cell phone by force. Apparently, Brownfield was asked to leave the motel and wanted his money back. He became angry and struck the victim where he suffered a fracture of the eye socket and a permanent scar.

He was also convicted in Salina where he was involved in a 2014 shooting incident at a Salina apartment complex. They found a 42-year-old man suffering from a gunshot wound. The man told police that Brownfield knocked on the door of his apartment and attempted to rob him.

The new battery case will now be scheduled for a waiver-status docket next month.
