Great Clips robbery suspect makes court appearance
HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The suspect arrested in association with the robbery of two women in front of Great Clips at 1515 E. 17th made a first appearance this morning. 22-year-old Tyler Joe Mossor was arrested Monday charged with aggravated robbery and now, aggravated assault. Bond was increased to $75,000.
In court, he requested a reduction of the bond, which was denied, partly because of the nature of charges, but also because he is from Ohio and is apparently staying with a friend here in Hutchinson. He claimed his innocence when appearing before Magistrate Judge Randy McEwen.
According to Police, the two female employees had just left the store back on Nov. 20 when they were robbed of money and personal belongings by a single armed man. The robbery was reported just after 9 p.m.
Judge McEwen set a status hearing for Dec. 3.
Wichita brothers busted in South Hutch make court appearance
Gary & James Jontra
HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Two Wichita brothers appeared in court Wednesday for the formal reading of drug charges stemming from an arrest last week.
28-year-old Gary Jontra and 30-year-old James Jontra are both charged with distribution of methamphetamine, conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine and use of an electronic communications device to make a drug transaction. James Jontra was able to post bond and appeared before Magistrate Judge Randy McEwen where he tried to clear his brother Gary. His brother remains jailed on a $12,000 bond.
The arrest of the two came back on Nov. 20 at the Kwik Shop at 8 N. Main in South Hutchinson. A green Honda with three people inside arrived at that location and James Jontra, who was sitting in the rear passenger seat of his brother’s car, got into the passenger seat of a vehicle driven by a drug enforcement officer. He allegedly exchanged $1,360 for approximately one ounce of meth. He told officers that he sold the meth for a $100 profit.
His brother Gary was driving the Honda and 911 Dispatch was able to confirm that he had two outstanding warrants. The phone used to make the drug transaction was found in the purse of Melissa Ray, who was a passenger in the vehicle. She is apparently the girlfriend of Gary Jontra. She was arrested for illegal transportation of liquor and was able to post bond.
Gary Jontra also has pending cases in Sedgwick County.
The state was just in the process of filing the charges, so no new court date was set for the two brothers at this point.
State charges Hutch woman with aggravated battery
HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A 27-year-old woman on parole for prior crimes has been formally charged with aggravated battery after she was arrested for a domestic case where she is accused of attacking her boyfriend.
Sara Alcorn is also jailed for failure to appear and violation of the conditions of release for parole.
The case apparently involves her swinging a knife and also striking her boyfriend. She denied in a previous hearing that she had a knife and that the victim may have had his fingers caught in a door. The incident occurred late night Wednesday Nov. 19 into early Thursday morning, Nov. 20 .
Alcorn was released from prison back in March for convictions of drugs, battery, two convictions for aggravated failure to appear and theft. She is listed as an absconder on the Kansas Department of Correction’s website.
Her case now moves to a waiver-status hearing.
