(KAIR)--A Lansing woman is going to prison following her sentencing last week in Leavenworth County District Court.

According to a release from Leavenworth County Attorney Todd Thompson, 49-year-old Becky Lynn Kelly, convicted for aggravated battery by a Leavenworth County jury December 14, was sentenced to 5-years in prison for the crime.

The release explains that Leavenworth Police were called to an apartment complex, on January 7, 2021, for a noise complaint, with a downstairs neighbor believing the upstairs neighbors were being too loud. A short time later, that neighbor heard a man yell that he’d been stabbed, with the neighbor again calling police.

When they arrived, police found the neighbor, and another, attending to a man found to have been stabbed 11 times with an additional two lacerations.

Police learned that Kelly had left the apartment, with the victim following after her before collapsing at the base of the stairs.

He suffered serious injuries, including two collapsed lungs, a punctured colon, and a puncture wound that went through his cheek and did not stop until it hit the victim’s tooth. The man survived.

Kelly, who was not located immediately, was arrested a few months later in connection with the stabbing.
