Four sentenced, one pleads in Dodge gang case

Posted on

WICHITA — Four members of a Dodge City street gang were sentenced and another pleaded guilty Monday in a federal racketeering case, U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom said Monday

Sentenced were:
Gonzalo Ramirez, 28, Dodge City, who was sentenced to life plus 57 years.
Pedro Garcia, 27, Dodge City, who was sentenced to life plus 32 years.
Donte Barnes, 22, Dodge City, who was sentenced to 32 months.
Jesus Flores, 28, Dodge City, who was sentenced to time served of 20 months.

Jayson Vargas, 31, Dodge City, pleaded guilty to one count of unlawful possession of a stolen firearm. In his plea, he admitted that on Aug. 20, 2011, he was driving a car in pursuit of his former girlfriend, who was in another car. During the chase, he pointed a handgun at her. Officers of the Ford County Sheriff’s Office stopped Vargas’ car and arrested him. They seized a .45 caliber handgun.

Vargas is set for sentencing March 24. He faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in federal prison and a fine up to $250,000.

Among the defendants who were sentenced:
Gonzalo Ramirez was convicted in a jury trial on count one (conspiracy to commit racketeering), count two (conspiracy to commit murder), count three (murder), count four (attempted murder), count five (assault with a dangerous weapon), count six (possession and discharge of a firearm during a violent crime), count seven (assault with a dangerous weapon), count eight (conspiracy to commit assault with a dangerous weapon), count nine (brandishing a firearm during a crime of violence), count ten (conspiracy to commit murder), count 11 (attempted murder), count 12 (assault with a dangerous weapon), and count 13 (possession and discharge of a firearm during a violent crime).

Pedro Garcia was convicted in a jury trial on count one (conspiracy to commit racketeering), count two (conspiracy to commit murder), count three (murder), count four (attempted murder), count five (assault with a dangerous weapon), count six (possession and discharge of a firearm during a violent crime), count seven (assault with a dangerous weapon), count eight (conspiracy to commit assault with a dangerous weapon), and count nine (brandishing a firearm during a crime of violence).

Donte Barnes pleaded guilty to one count of attempted murder in aid of racketeering.

Jesus Flores pleaded guilty to one count of assault with a dangerous weapon in aid of racketeering and one count of conspiracy to commit assault with a dangerous weapon in aid of racketeering.

The defendants were among 23 members of the Norteno street gang indicted in May 2012. It was only the second time a federal RICO Act indictment (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act) had been filed in Kansas. Twenty two defendants have been convicted. Charges were dismissed without prejudice against defendant Adam Flores.

Grissom commended the Dodge City Police Department, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Ford County Sheriff?s Office, the Ford County Attorney’s Office, the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, Assistant U.S. Attorney Lanny Welch and Assistant U.S. Attorney Aaron Smith for their work on the case.

Junction woman gets probation in Omaha prostitution case

Posted on

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A Kansas woman has been given five years of probation in an Omaha prostitution case.

Omaha television station KETV said Tabatha Ashburn, Junction City, had made a plea deal with prosecutors who had indicted Ashburn and four other people.

Christopher Tierney also was given probation. The station says Ashburn’s mother, Tammy Schuck, Omaha, is serving prison time, as are William Knox and Kim Bivens.

Authorities say Schuck operated three “spas” in Omaha from April 2008 to January 2012 where customers paid for sex acts from workers, rather than receiving legitimate spa services.

Trego Co. school board president resigns post after arrest

Posted on

WAKEENEY — Arrested on a series of drug-related allegations Thursday afternoon, Trego County USD 208 Board of Education president has resigned his position with the schools.

Reeder

Reeder was taken into custody at his WaKeeney home, facing charges of possession of marijuana, criminal use of a firearm, and two counts of possession of marijuana with intent to distribute within 1,000 feet of a school. He is scheduled to appear in Trego County District Court at 1 p.m. Tuesday.

Reeder also serves as a Trego County appraiser.

A release issued by the school district said Reeder had resigned his post with the board of education, a post he has held since July. The release noted Reeder was not admitting guilt, but that he wanted to avoid becoming a distraction to the business of the school district.

USD 208 statement:

On Jan. 2, 2014, Trego County USD 208 Board of Education President John Allen Reeder was arrested on drug-related charges. Mr. Reeder was elected President of the BOE in July of 2013 and has been supportive of the district’s anti-drug and alcohol policies. In response to the arrest of Mr. Reeder, Trego County Superintendent Dr. George Griffith state, “I am a firm believer that all members of the school district should be held to the same standards related to their actions, regardless if it is a student, teacher, administrator or even a school board member. Deciding what to do regarding students and staff members is clear because there are policies and rules in place ot provide guidance. Hownever, with a board members being an elected official, the district is limited in the actions it can take.”

Dr. Griffith visited with Mr. Reeder on January 3, 2014, at which time Mr. Reeder and Dr. Griffith agreed that it would be in the best interest of the students if Mr. Reeder resigned his position on the Board of Education immediately. Mr. Reeder wanted the board and members of the community to know that he was not admitting any guilt. His concern was that the charges against him might distract the board of education from its business, which is doing what is in the best interest of the children they serve.
