HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The 32-year-old man arrested as the suspect in a stabbing case made a first appearance via video from the Reno County Jail where he was told of the potential charge and possible penalty.
Drew David Sims is charged with aggravated battery for allegedly stabbing 30-year-old Brandon Zeh after the two got into an argument over money.
It was Monday around 9:30 a.m. when officers were dispatched to the area of 12th & Monroe for the report of the stabbing. They found Zeh with a stab wound to his chest. He was transported to an area hospital, where he underwent emergency surgery and is in stable condition.
In court, Sims was asked if he had any comments about his bond which was set at $50,000. He told Magistrate Judge Randy McEwen “no,” so the bond was left the same. The judge scheduled a status hearing in the case for March 4.
It was just back on Feb. 6, that Sims was granted community corrections for crimes that included for two counts of theft, forgery and giving a worthless check. Those crimes go back to July of last year. But, he has other convictions that go back to 2001 and 2007, that includes flee and elude and theft.
The state could now seek to revoke his community corrections.
