Hearing Thursday for two suspects in local burglaries
[ By FRED GOUGH ]
HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The preliminary hearing is scheduled for Thursday for two people, both with multiple cases involving breaking into local buildings and storage units.
The hearing involves 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.
The hearing is scheduled for 10 a.m.

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A 22-year-old Hutchinson man who faces a Community Correction’s violation has another case that was set for a preliminary hearing Wednesday by Judge Joe McCarville
William Hickey was charged with aggravated assault after he pulled a knife on his father back in June. Hutchinson police were called to the scene on the report of a disturbance and discovered that Hickey had threatened his father with a black pocket knife.
Judge McCarville set a preliminary hearing date in the latest case for Sept. 4.
Hickey has been on corrections for aggravated endangerment of a child in one case and attempted criminal threat in another. He was given one year on community corrections in the case with an underlying sentence of one year, six months in prison.
It was back on June 13, 2013, when Hickey reportedly tortured or cruelly beat a 1-year-old child. The child sustained injuries to her face and also her bottom. In the other case he had been charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon for threatening his father with a knife. He was also charged with criminal threat for the same incident. That occurred May 17, 2012. He then entered a plea to the reduced charges and was granted corrections.
