HUTCHINSON— A Kansas man convicted of killing an Illinois man was sentenced in Reno County on Friday to 182 months or approximately 15-years in prison.

Michael Brisco, 37, was originally charged with first-degree murder for the shooting death of 26-year-old Sem Adrien on Sept. 9, 2013. He was a carnival worker at the State Fair.

He entered guilty pleas to an amended complaint to involuntary manslaughter, criminal possession of a firearm, aggravated intimidation of a witness, possession of methamphetamine, solicitation to commit perjury and interference with law enforcement.

The alleged crimes occurred after Adrien was rude to Brisco’s girlfriend, according to police.

The two then began to fight inside Brisco’s Hutchinson home. However, the shooting occurred outside with the victim collapsing on a nearby parking lot near 8th & Plum Street.

The victim had two wounds to the heart and it appeared he was shot as he tried to leave or flee, according to testimony at the preliminary hearing.

Judge Tim Chambers went along with the recommendation of both the state and the defense in giving Brisco the aggravated sentence on each count and ran them consecutive to each count.

Brisco will also have to register as a violent offender.

Brisco told the court that he’s trying to do the right thing and apologized for the situation and what happened saying he thinks about it all the time and wishes it hadn’t happened.

None of the victim’s families were present for the sentencing.

Brisco was also ordered to pay $19,466 in restitution, however there is some question whether the state paid the family for a part of the funeral expenses. If so, that would be deducted from that total. He was also ordered to pay a KBI lab fee of $400.00 as well as court cost.
