KANSAS CITY, KAN. – A Kansas man was sentenced Wednesday to 151 months in federal prison for soliciting a 16-year-old girl to send him child pornography, according to U.S. Attorney Stephen McAllister.

Jamie Drake, 40, Lawrence, Kan., pleaded guilty to one count of coercion and enticement of a minor. In his plea, he admitted he solicited a 16-year-old girl from Franklin County, Mo., to send him photos of herself in sexual poses. He offered to pay her bills and send her money in exchange for photos.

Drake has two previous convictions for DUI and forgery, according to the Kansas Department of Corrections.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — The man accused of running over a Wichita police officer last year has pleaded guilty.

Justin Terrazas pleaded guilty Wednesday to aggravated battery and other charges.

Prosecutors say Terrazas ran over officer Brian Arterburn while fleeing in a stolen vehicle in February 2017.

Terrazas will be sentenced Jan. 14.

District Attorney Marc Bennett said the state and defense have agreed to a 39.5-year prison sentence.

Arterburn, a 25-year police veteran, suffered chest, abdomen and brain injuries when the vehicle hit him as he placed spike strips on a road in south Wichita. He spent nearly 10 months in hospitals in Colorado and Texas before returning to Wichita last November.

Earlier this year, the city approved Arterburn’s medical retirement.

GEARY COUNTY — One person was injured in an accident just before 2p.m. Wednesday in Geary County.

The Kansas Highway Patrol reported a 2000 Mercury Sable driven by Alcinder D. Dawson, 45, Junction City, was northbound on Lyons Creek Road four miles south of Junction City.

The vehicle pulled to the edge of the road and stopped to allow a 2016 John Deere Combine driven by John A. Kramer,  68, Milford to pass.  The combine swerved into the east ditch, strikingthe Mercury and then pushed it across the roadway and into the west ditch.

Dawson was transported to the hospital in Salina.

Kramer was not injured.  Dawson was wearing a seat belt at the time of the accident, according to the KHP.

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — A Lawrence police officer who shot a man during an arrest is asking that criminal charges against her be dropped.

In a motion filed last week in Douglas County, attorneys for 26-year-old Brindley Blood argued that Blood shot 35-year-old Akira Lewis in self-defense, which makes her immune from prosecution under Kansas law.

Blood was charged with aggravated battery after shooting Lewis in May. Lewis and another officer were fighting when Blood arrived and eventually shot him. Lewis was hospitalized with a gunshot wound in the back.

Blood thought she drew her Taser rather than her gun before firing the shot. The motion doesn’t address that part of the case.

As of Wednesday, the Douglas County District Attorney’s Office had not filed a response to Blood’s motion.

SHAWNEE COUNTY — Law enforcement authorities are investigating burglary and have a suspect in custody.

GREAT BEND, Kan. (AP) — A man who secretly photographed and made videos of women as they undressed at a E-Z Tanning salon in Great Bend has been sentenced to 60 days in jail.

Tracy Driscoll, 35,  was also ordered to serve three years of probation when he’s released from jail. Driscoll pleaded no contest in September in Barton County to six counts of breach of privacy.

While on probation, he won’t be able to use the internet or a phone with a camera. He also must pay fines and for counseling for one of the victims. Additionally, three victims are suing.

The sentence was the maximum possible for the charges. Driscoll has a previous felony conviction stemming from a 2007 hit-and-run crash in Russell that killed Kansas State University sophomore Rebecca Trible.

MURPHYSBORO, Ill. (AP) — A Kansas man has pleaded guilty to several charges in connection with a shooting that wounded a southern Illinois police officer during a July 2016 chase.

The Jackson County state’s attorney office says the plea agreement with 24-year-old Alex Karcher of Salina, Kansas, calls for him to face a prison sentence of at least 25 years.

Karcher pleaded guilty Tuesday to charges of aggravated battery to a police officer, aggravated discharge of a firearm and marijuana distribution. Charges related to shots Karcher fired that missed Carbondale Officer Trey Harris were dismissed.

Officials say one shot wounded Harris in the eye, causing him to lose vision.

Authorities say Harris was among officers chasing Karcher and three other men after gunshots were fired in a dispute over 15 pounds of marijuana.

EL PASO COUNTY — Law enforcement authorities are investigating a  suspect in connection with a sexual assault investigation.

In May 2018, officers with the Colorado Springs Police Department initiated the investigation involving a suspect identified as Daniel Armstrong, 57, of Colorado Springs, according to a media release from police.

Information indicated Armstrong sexually assaulted a child several years prior to the incident being reported. The investigation culminated with Crimes Against Children detectives obtaining a warrant for Armstrong’s arrest, charging him with Sexual Assault on a Child and Sexual Exploitation of Children. Despite their efforts, detectives were unable to locate and arrest Armstrong. 

SHAWNEE, Kan. (AP) — Authorities say a former college basketball player in Kentucky has been killed in a murder-suicide in suburban Kansas City.

Police in Shawnee, Kansas, found the bodies of 27-year-old Courtney Bivins, of Kansas City, Missouri, and 34-year-old Joshua Mobley, of Mission, Kansas, near a park on Sunday. Police say Mobley shot Bivins and then himself. Police described them as “close friends.”

Bivins played in 19 games at Western Kentucky University before transferring to Campbellsville University, where she graduated in 2013 with a biology degree. Campbellsville says Bivins, who previously went by the last name of Clifton, was a nurse and had been “actively pursuing a career field in anesthesiology.”

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A Kansas man has been sentenced to life in prison for raping a 7-year-old girl in a stranger’s apartment six weeks after he was freed from prison for another rape.

24-year-old Corbin Breitenbach won’t be eligible for parole under the sentence ordered Tuesday for attempted capital murder, rape, aggravated criminal sodomy and aggravated burglary.

The attack happened in June 2017 while the victim was spending the night at a friend’s condo in Wichita. Prosecutors say Breitenbach quietly sneaked in, choked her into unconsciousness and sexually assaulted her.

The girl, now 9, described the attack as “scary” in a video that was played before the sentence was imposed. District Attorney Marc Bennett gave her a fist bump before she left the courtroom surrounded by family.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Authorities say a DNA test has confirmed that skeletal remains found in Alabama decades ago belong to a missing Louisiana woman believed to have been killed.

Authorities said Tuesday that they learned this week the remains belong to Mary Ann Perez, who disappeared in 1976. Authorities say Perez’s daughter provided a DNA sample that matched DNA from the remains. The findings have revived the possibility that a man who claimed responsibility for Perez’s slaying may be charged in her death.

That man, 74-year-old David Courtney, is currently serving a life sentence in Kansas in an unrelated killing.

News outlets at that time report Perez was having car trouble near a New Orleans lounge when she was spotted by Courtney, who’s believed to have strangled her.

OLATHE, Kan. (AP) — A judge has ordered a mental competency examination for a 19-year-old man charged with sexually assaulting a girl in a child welfare office.

Michael Anthony Hamer is charged in Johnson County with rape and aggravated indecent liberties with a child.

Prosecutors allege Hamer assaulted a 13-year-old girl in May while they were at a KVC Health Systems office in Olathe. They were both in the state foster care system at the time.

Defense attorney Courtney Henderson sought the evaluation because he thinks Hamer doesn’t fully understand the gravity of the charges against him and would not be able to effectively help in his own defense.

District Judge Brenda Cameron granted Henderson’s request. A hearing on the competency issue is scheduled for Jan. 10.
