HUTCHINSON— A Kansas woman was sentenced to nearly 13 years in prison for her role in the strangulation death of a Hutchinson woman.

Jamie Hatfield, 27, was given the sentence Friday afternoon in Reno County District Court.

Hatfield entered a guilty plea to intentional second-degree murder in the strangulation death of 38­year­old Mary Ann Arnett in June of 2015.

Arnett’s body was found in a dry creek bed near Nickerson. She was strangled with a cell phone cord according to autopsy reports.

Arnett’s family members of were present, but did not speak during the hearing.

Prosecutors say both Hatfield and Jonathan Perser­Wilson were involved in Arnett’s death.

Perser-Wilson was shot and killed by police during a confrontation the day after Arnett’s body was found.

Arnett and Hatfield had previously dated, but when Arnett’s body was found, Hatfield was in a relationship with Wilson.
