A 40-year-old Tonganoxie resident has pled no contest to aggravated battery and criminal threat.

Timothy Ryan Detrick entered the plea during a recent court appearance in Leavenworth County District Court.

The charges arose from an incident Feb. 3 in Tonganoxie.

According to police accounts, Leavenworth County Sheriff’s Department officers were called to a residence on River Street after a family member of Detrick’s family reported that he had been struck by Detrick with a metal bar. Members of the Leavenworth County Tactical Unit had to forcefully remove Detrick from the residence. Authorities also claimed that, while being removed, Detrick made statements that he would kill the officers involved in the incident.
