Trial for suspect in two cases continued again until November

Jesse Aich 2.

HUTCHINSON, Kan. – The trial for one of the suspects in a home invasion case from South Hutchinson and Hutchinson drug distribution case was continued as expected after he was recently granted a new attorney.

Twenty-nine year-old Jesse Aich is charged with possession of methamphetamine with intent to sell, possession of drug paraphernalia with intent to package, possession of three other drugs (hydrocodone, oxycodone and morphine), as well as a final count of personal use drug paraphernalia.

The cases are scheduled for trial this month, but he was assigned attorney Sam Kepfield to the case.

The case against Aich started with a search warrant served on his residence where he apparently lived in a basement bedroom. Inside that room, law enforcement allegedly found a baggie that contained a crystal substance, a baggie containing a powder substance, a digital scale with white residue, new packaging materials, used baggies with residue, two 100-count boxes of syringes, glass pipes with burnt residue they say was used to smoke meth, several types of pills and over $1,000 in cash.

Aich is also charged in another case with multiple felonies including two counts of attempted aggravated robbery.

Aich and 32-year-old Charles Swepston were arrested for an incident that happened early in the morning on Friday, July 31, 2015, in South Hutchinson.

South Hutchinson police were called to a home shortly after 7 a.m. Friday and were told two men had forced their way inside and demanded money and valuables. The two victims reportedly fought with the intruders before Aich allegedly left and came back with a handgun, firing twice, but not hitting anyone.

Judge Trish Rose says the trial will now be in November.
