HUTCHINSON, Kan. — One of the four suspects in the home invasion cases from last year faces sentencing Friday.
Dakota Anderson was convicted of aggravated kidnapping, two counts of aggravated robbery, one count of aggravated battery and two counts of aggravated burglary.
The two home invasions occurred in the 3600 block of Rockwood Drive and the other in the 3400 block of North Waldron. The first occurred on May 4 and the second on May 14.
One of the other suspects saw his sentence increased when he refused to testify at the trial of Anderson. Jordan Leffel was called as the state’s witness, but refused to cooperate, so Judge Tim Chambers found him in contempt of court and added six months to his sentence in the case, which consisted of 19 1/2 years in prison.
A man convicted for one of the home invasions was recently sentenced to over 20 years in prison. Frederick Lemons was sentenced back on April 22 for his part in the case involving the break in and robbery at the home on North Waldron.
The sentencing for Anderson is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Friday in front of Judge Tim Chambers.
