Joshua Bradbury, 36, was charged with aggravated burglary and aggravated intimidation of a witness and conspiracy to commit aggravated battery, but those charges were dismissed as part of a plea agreement.

Bradbury was involved with Joshua Rund and 20-year-old Michala Cooprider in the beating of a Hutchinson woman in her bed in May of 2016.

Police say Michala Cooprider, 20, is actually the one who entered the home at 2 a.m. and struck the victim 34-year-old Lacy Lomax with a flashlight while she was sleeping.

She hit the victim as many as six times. Lomax had to be hospitalized for serious injuries including a concussion.

Bradbury and Rund were charged as part of a conspiracy. Bradbury allegedly drove Cooprider to the home and gave her his flashlight to use in the attack.

Cooprider entered a plea to aggravated burglary in the case while the state dropped a charge of aggravated battery. She was sentenced to just under five years in prison.

The case against Rund is still pending.

Bradbury is currently on community corrections for drug and theft charges from 2015 and 2016.
