Indecent Liberties with a child arrest made Friday
HUTCHINSON, Kan. – We don’t have many details, but another individual is jailed on a single count of aggravated indecent liberties. This again involves a child, age 14 or under.
District Attorney Keith Schroeder says he was advised of the arrest of John Robert Haney Friday by police, but didn’t know the particulars of the case thus far.
Detectives were not available because of police training, so it may be Monday before we know anymore.

They also allegedly found some pipes with burnt residue, a digital scale and new and used packaging materials and four hand guns with ammo inside.

Sentencing in Reno County flee and elude case pushed back to Thursday
Victor Gutierrez
HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The sentencing for a 26-year-old man convicted of charges associated with a high-speed chase saw his sentencing pushed back to next Thursday.
Victor Gutierrez entered pleas to criminal possession of a firearm and felony flee and elude, while the state dismissed a charge of possession of cocaine. The chase started because of law enforcement being on the lookout for Gutierrez because of his suspected involvement with a murder in Ford County.
He led law enforcement here in a high-speed chase with speeds as high as 150 miles per hour. The chase reportedly ended at U.S. 50 and Mayfield Road east of Hutchinson, where he pulled over and was taken into custody without incident.
In addition to the murder charge in Ford County, Guttierrez is also charged with aggravated endangerment of a child, criminal possession of a firearm by a felon and defacing identification marks of a firearm. The charges in Ford County come after police responded to a home back on Sept. 23, 2014 and found 30-year-old Natasha Pruitt dead of a gun shot wound.
His attorney apparently wants to file a motion for a departure prior to sentencing, so Judge Trish Rose Friday agreed to continue the hearing to 4 p.m. Thursday afternoon.
