(KNZA)--A state charge of aggravated domestic battery has been dismissed against former Kickapoo Tribal Council Chairman Lester Randall.
A Brown County judge signed an order this week dismissing the charge without prejudice, which means it can be refiled at a later day.
Brown County Attorney Kevin Hill requested dismissal of the charge, which was filed in April, to allow for the federal prosecution of Randall to proceed.
A federal grand jury indicted Randall last month on four counts of felony assault stemming from alleged domestic-related incidents over the past year on the Kickapoo Reservation, which results in multiple emergency room visits for the female victim.
The grand jury indictment was returned July 17 and requested that a trial be held in Topeka.
