(KAIR)--A four-day jury trial ended with a Leavenworth man being found guilty in connection with an armed home invasion that happened during the late summer of 2019.
32-year-old Lonnie Holmes was found guilty in Leavenworth County District Court for aggravated kidnapping, aggravated robbery, and aggravated battery.
According to a release from Leavenworth County Attorney Todd Thompson, a hearing is scheduled for January 14 for sentencing.
During the four day trial, one day was suspended, according to Thompson, “due to a juror going to the emergency room between the second and third day of the trial.”
The release explains that Holmes, who was accompanied by another, “entered a [Leavenworth] home at 403 Logan Street while looking to retaliate for a person breaking a car window earlier in the night” on August 25, 2019.
Not finding who he was looking for, Holmes instead held another person at the residence, who was not connected to the matter, at gunpoint, demanding the whereabouts of the person he was seeking and the victim’s phone and passcode.
Tying the victim up after dragging him to a back bedroom, Holmes then “struck him multiple times with a crowbar while trying to extract information.”
Holmes then partially cut off one finger of the victim, took his phone and money, and fled.
The victim, according to Thompson was found “in a pool of blood with a partially amputated finger and a 4-5 inch laceration to his head.”
The man survived.
