05/01/2014

(KNZA)--The preliminary hearing for a former Brown County law enforcement officer facing felony aggravated battery charges has been postponed again.

The hearing for Dustin Mather, of Olathe, which had been set for this week in a Brown County Courtroom, has been continued to August 8th.

Mather was arrested in November on a Brown County warrant for two counts of aggravated battery.

He’s accused of intentionally causing bodily harm to the same individual on two occasions—February 25th and March 5th of last year. The victim is identified only in court documents by the initials S.M.

The case is being prosecuted by the Kansas Attorney General’s office.

Mather is a former officer with the Brown County Sheriff’s Department, Hiawatha Police Department and Kickapoo Tribal Police Department.

He remains free on $50,000 bond.
