Davis
HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A 28-year-old man who entered pleas in one case while another was dropped by the state is in more trouble.
Jaterri Davis was back in court Thursday morning to hear formal charges in two new cases. One includes kidnapping and aggravated robbery. In this case, he’s accused of confining the victim, holding her against her will, then robbing her of $200 with a black handgun. This occurred on June 13.
In a second case, the state has charged him with criminal possession of a firearm, that being a Beretta model 8040 caliber handgun. He also caused damage to a window at a local motel. These crimes occurred on June 14.
Bond for the two cases is set at $161,250. These cases move to a waiver-status docket on July 12.
Earlier this month, Davis entered a plea in one case with another dropped by the state.
He had been charged in one case with aggravated robbery, kidnapping, distribution of marijuana and flee and elude. But as part of a plea agreement, the state dropped count one to simple robbery, count two to attempted kidnapping, count three to possession of marijuana and the last count stayed the same. Davis reluctantly entered “guilty” pleas to all four counts.
He led police on a chase before being arrested in the unit block of Carey Street. The robbery occurred in the 200 block of Hayes Street where he forced a man into giving up his stash of marijuana. This occurred back on Nov. 4 of last year.
The state dropped another case where he was accused of forcing his way in and threatening the occupant at an apartment building in the unit block of East 2nd with a handgun.
As part of the agreement, the two sides had planned to recommend that he be placed on community corrections rather than given a prison sanction. Whether two new cases will affect that argument is unknown.
Sentencing will be on July 14 in front of Judge Trish Rose.
