(KAIR)--A member of the Kansas Aryan Brotherhood is convicted in Leavenworth County District Court for his role in an attack on a fellow inmate in the Kansas Department of Corrections.
According to a release from Leavenworth County Attorney Todd Thompson, 29-year-old Andrew Michael Hogue was convicted Friday for aggravated battery for the attack that took place in April, 2019, in the maximum security dining hall at Lansing prison.
According to Thompson, both Hogue and the victim were members of the Kansas Aryan Brotherhood white supremacist prison gang.
Hogue, Thompson said, “was sent a coded message from another member [of the gang] ordering a violent attack on the victim who had fallen out of favor with the group.”
The victim was stabbed multiple times with what Thompson calls “an improvised device.”
The victim survived the stabbing.
