HUTCHINSON — A Reno County judge sentenced a Kansas man on Friday to over 22-years in prison.

Fredrick Lemons Jr., 21, Hutchinson was convicted in connection with a home invasion, robbery from May of 2105 in the 3400 block of North Waldron in Hutchinson.

The victim testified at trial that he still suffers from his injuries that included having a tooth knocked out, stitches on his lip and other lacerations to his head. He had testified that he hasn’t been able to work since October and still has sufferers pain each day.

Lemon was charged with aggravated kidnapping, aggravated robbery, aggravated burglary, two counts of aggravated battery, criminal threat and two counts of criminal damage, however the judge set aside one of the criminal damage counts because of a bad jury instruction and the state then announced that they would dismiss that count.

Lemons apologized for what happened, but still maintained his innocence and plans an appeal.
