(KNZA)--A Holton man charged with fatally shooting his father in 2018 has entered into a plea agreement.
Derrick Bohnenkemper pleaded no contest Wednesday in Jackson County District Court to a reduced charge of second-degree murder.
In exchange for the plea, six additional counts were dismissed.
Bohnenkemper had originally been charged with first-degree murder in the shooting death of his 73-year-old father, Gaylen Bohnenkemper, in September 2018.
He surrendered to authorities following a more than five hour armed standoff, during which shots were fired at officers.
No officers were injured.
Sentencing was set for February 5.
