The 33-year-old Hutchinson man arrested Saturday in a domestic violence case has been formally charged.
Dwayne Chronister of 715 Brookside was in court again Wednesday for the formal reading of charges which includes aggravated battery-domestic violence. In the alternative, he’s charged with abuse of a child for the beating of a 16-year-old. Count three is also a charge of abuse of a child for the beating of another teen. One of the teens apparently suffered severe injuries to the face, including the need for stitches. The final count against Chronister is a misdemeanor count of domestic battery.
The case now moves to a waiver-status docket on August 7, in front of Judge Joe McCarville.
