While any progress in the latest case against a 31-year-old man is on hold for another couple of weeks, James “Jonathon Allen” Dean is scheduled to be back in court Friday for pre-trial conference in the earlier case.
In that case, the crimes against Dean allegedly occurred during a party in the early morning hours of August 4, 2013. The victim in that case, Jeffrey Kinney had gone to a neighbors home to return a dog and then asked if he could go four wheeling in the homeowners back field. Dean decided he wanted to go along. It was during the drive to the field that Dean allegedly stabbed Kinney three times, on his hand, in his stomach area and also on the left side of his chest. He says Dean then pushed him from his own truck, with the truck then running over him.
We could learn when a trial will be scheduled in this case on Friday.
In his latest case he faces charges of aggravated kidnapping, aggravated burglary, aggravated battery and criminal possession of a firearm, in this case a 9mm, handgun.
He’s accused of going to a Hutchinson home on East 3rd upset that his girlfriends gun may have been stolen. He went to the home of 50-year-old David Crossman, where he allegedly entered the home uninvited, forced the victim from the home and then began beating him with a baseball bat. Dean was also struck by another individual. This occurring back on February 28.
This case is still pending a preliminary hearing in front of Judge Joe McCarville.
