HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A preliminary hearing date has been set for two people, both with multiple cases involving breaking into local buildings and storage units.
Judge Joe McCarvile set a date of August 21 for the hearing on all the cases involving 33-year-old Timothy McQueen and 21-year-old Kelsey Hamby.
In the latest case, they are both charged by the state with four new counts of burglary, conspiracy to commit burglary and making false writing. They allege that the two broke into storage units at three different locations around the city. Most of these alleged crimes occurred around June 12 or 13, while one was between May 19 and June 18. The state also charged them with conspiracy for break in of a storage unit in McPherson, then bringing the stolen property to Reno County. This occurred on June 9, according to the criminal complaint. They’re also alleged to have falsified a pawn ticket on that same date.
McQueen was earlier convicted of aggravated burglary for a case that goes back to Oct. 5, 2012, when he broke into a building at 206 W. 5th. In the other case, he was convicted of possession of methamphetamine for a case that goes back to Nov. 16, 2012. Judge Rose sentenced him to one year of probation in the first case and one year, eight months probation for the other.
Both remain jailed.
