Belleville Teen Facing Solicitation Charge

(AP) – An 18-year-old Kansas college student has been charged with trying to convince someone to rob a Concordia bank.

Landon B. Hedstrom of Belleville was arrested Nov. 17 and was released from jail on bond on Nov. 18. He’s pleaded not guilty to one count of solicitation to commit bank robbery and is scheduled for trial Jan. 24.

The Salina Journal reports that officials are not discussing what led authorities to take Hedstrom into custody. He attends Cloud County Community College in Concordia.

Chris Joseph, whose Topeka law firm is representing Hedtrom, said he expects the trial date to be continued to a later date.
