HUTCHINSON, Kan. – Thirty-five-year-old Alonzo Moore, who is charged with two counts of aggravated assault and criminal threat, was again before Judge Trish Rose Friday morning for a status hearing.
The defense was considering arguing mental disease or defect at trial, but during the hearing Friday, they told the judge that they would not use that as a defense at trial.
So, Judge Rose then set a trial date of Feb. 23.
In one incident, Moore allegedly threatened a 17-year-old female with a knife in the 200 block of East 4th at a local Burger King. Another man testified that he was there helping his sister with her car and also felt threatened by Moore, so much so, that he got back in his truck, locked the door and called 911.
Apparently an hour earlier, Moore also threatened a worker at a local motel.
Moore is currently serving time on two counts of battery of a law enforcement officer for a case that goes back to May of 2012. And he has other convictions of aggravated assault, two counts of theft and flee and elude for cases also going back to 2012.
Again, the case will go to trial in February.
