LEAVENWORTH, Kan. (AP) — A Kansas mayor who was recently elected after serving three years in prison has spent his first day in office helping qualified ex-offenders get their criminal records expunged.

Jermaine Wilson presided over his first Leavenworth City Commission meeting as the new mayor on Tuesday evening. Wilson stepped into the mayor’s seat roughly 12 years after starting his prison sentence for drug charges, serving as a symbol of redemption for the city.

Wilson worked with Leavenworth County Attorney Todd Thompson on Wednesday to launch a program assisting those who qualify under Kansas law to be considered for having their criminal records erased. Thompson is planning a 60-day event to offer rebounding ex-offenders help from the prosecutor’s office.

Wilson had his record expunged in 2015.

SEDGWICK COUNTY — Law enforcement authorities are investigating an officer-involved shooting that critically injured one person.

Just after 1 p.m. Thursday, police came to the Sedgwick County Department of Corrections, 905 North Main in Wichita to arrest a suspect wanted on a felony warrant for aggravated assault, according to Deputy Police Chief Troy Livingston.

Officers and members of the U.S. Marshals Service approached the suspect, who was in a vehicle. Officers knew he would be carrying a weapon, according to Livingston.

As police issued commands, the suspect put the vehicle into reverse and collided with a U.S. Marshals’ Dodge Durango.

The suspect’s vehicle then traveled forward, hit a sign and put the officer in a bad position. Livingston didn’t know if the officer was actually hit by the car, pinned or about to be pinned by the vehicle.

The officer fired shots. The 29-year-old suspect was hit multiple times, according to Livingston.

After hitting the sign, the suspect’s vehicle hit a pillar in front of a business, collided with steps and traveled across the street where it embedded into a wall.

The 29-year-old suspect was in serious condition at a local hospital. The officer, a 13-year veteran of the police force, also received injury, according to Livingston, and was being treated.

Police were also questioning a second person reported in the vehicle with suspect.

Police have not released the suspect’s name or the identity of the injured officer.
