HUTCHINSON, Kan. — After one of the five teens arrested and accused of making criminal threats against Hutchinson High reached a plea agreement, the other four did the same Tuesday afternoon in Reno County Juvenile Court.
Takota Bowman, Jacobsen Eells, Andre Smith and Tyler Cabral all entered pleas to one count of criminal threat, while the charge of conspiracy to commit murder was dismissed. The pleas are similar to the one offered to, and accepted by Dominic Collins just before Christmas. Like Collins, the four were sentenced to court services until May of 2016 and time already served.
According to Daniel Gilligan of the District Attorney’s office, all had made strides to improve their lives, including obtaining or trying to obtain their GEDs. Bowman is also attending classes at Allen Community College in Iola, and will go through his court supervision there.
All must write a letter of apology to Hutchinson USD 308 for their actions.
