We now have a trial date for a 31-year-old man in one of two cases against him. James “Jonathon Allen” Dean as it stand now will face trial on June 17. That date set by Judge Trish Rose Friday afternoon. She also set a motion deadline of May 30.
The crimes in this case 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.
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.
