HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The trial for one of two men charged with the beating of a Reno County Correctional Facility inmate is scheduled to begin Tuesday.
William Alexander and his brother Antoine are both charged by the state with a single count of aggravated battery. The two Alexanders are accused of beating 30-year-old Darrell Beachy, who was taken by air-ambulance to a Wichita hospital for treatment. This occurred on Sept. 26, 2015, in one of the pods at the new county facility.
Before jury selection beginning, William Alexander is scheduled to be before Judge Trish Rose for a motion of limine hearing.
Alexander has another case as well where he’s charged with two alternate counts of felony theft.
In that case, the state accuses him of stealing a Samsung Galaxy tablet, a Nextbook tablet, as well as other miscellaneous items. This allegedly occurred on Oct. 23, 2015.
