HUTCHINSON – One of three people charged in a criminal case involving the attack on a Kansas woman in May was sentenced to four years, 10-months in prison for her part in the case.

Michala Cooprider, 20, Haven, entered a plea to aggravated burglary in the case while the state dropped a charge of aggravated battery.

Police say on May 23, she entered a home in the 600 Block of East 7th Street in Hutchinson and battered a woman who was still in bed.

The victim had injuries so severe, she was taken to Hutchinson Regional Medical Center for treatment and had to have 15 staples put in for her wounds.

She was allegedly attacked because she may have given information to law enforcement in McPherson County over a burglary case.

Cooprider was also sentenced to just over two years for two incidents. In one incident, she was convicted of aggravated burglary and theft by deception. These charges stem from stealing from the Kwik Shop at 43rd & Plum on Oct. 29, 2015. Because of prior theft convictions, the crimes were filed as felonies.

The other incident has to do with crimes on Nov. 1, 2015. She was convicted of aggravated burglary and theft for taking items from the same Kwik Shop.

The sentences for these crimes were ordered by Judge Joe McCarville to run concurrent to the sentence in the beating case.
