HUTCHINSON, Kan. — One of two men arrested back on April 27 in an assault case in Nickerson has been formally charged by the state.
Darion Esguerra is now charged with aggravated battery, two counts of aggravated assault and criminal damage to property.
Esguerra and Daniel Gobble, both 21, are accused of coming to a residence with a BB gun, a 22-caliber rifle and a bat. During the incident, the male victim was allegedly shot in the leg with the BB gun. One of the two suspects also fired the BB gun and shattered a glass door. They then left the scene.
During the hearing Thursday, Esguerra asked for a reduction of the $15,000 bond and pro-tem Judge Greg Bell agreed to lower it to $10,000.
He’ll be back in court on June 28.
