HUTCHINSON, Kan. – A 27-year-old Kansas Department of Corrections inmate serving time for aggravated criminal sodomy and failure to register as a sex offender has been bound over for trial in Reno County District Court for a charge of battery of a corrections officer.
Wyatt Brown is accused of striking a corrections officer while serving his sentence at the Hutchinson Correctional Facility back on Aug. 8, 2015. He’s accused of head butting the officer during the altercation.
The charge is a level five person felony with a sentencing range between two years and seven months to just over 11 years in prison.
Brown is currently serving time for the sodomy charge out of Brown County and any sentence handed down in Reno County would run consecutive to that.
According to the Kansas Department of Corrections website, as it stands now, he’s not eligible for parole until 2041. He has now been moved to the El Dorado Correctional Facility.
The Reno County case will now move to a possible trial.
