(KAIR)--A former Tonganoxie resident, already serving life in prison for the killing of a Kansas City, Kansas Police Detective, was sentenced Thursday on Leavenworth County charges for crimes committed the same day that Brad Lancaster was murdered.
According to Leavenworth County Attorney Todd Thompson, 30-year-old Curtis Ayers was sentenced for aggravated robbery and aggravated burglary to more than 20-years in prison. That sentence will run consecutively to the life sentence Ayers is serving in the capitol murder case.
The crimes were committed in Basehor on May 9, 2016, the same day that Lancaster was killed.
It's alleged that Ayers, after the murder, drove a stolen car to a Basehor residence, where he parked in a garage.
Inside the car were two children, who were passengers in the vehicle when stolen by Ayers.
Authorities says Ayers entered the home and robbed a resident at gunpoint, taking the keys to another vehicle, along with a sweatshirt and shoes.
He then fled behind the wheel of the resident's vehicle, and was arrested later in Kansas City, Missouri.
