Leavenworth County District Court

A preliminary hearing was scheduled for 10 a.m. today for a Leavenworth man, who faces 37 charges in connection with vehicle burglaries and vehicle thefts. Jerry R. Williams Jr., 21, is charged with one count of felony auto theft; one count of fleeing or attempting to elude a police officer; one count of reckless driving; 16 counts of vehicular burglary; four counts of felony theft; one count of aggravated residential burglary; 10 counts of misdemeanor theft; one count of misdemeanor criminal damage to property; and two counts of misdemeanor criminal deprivation of a motor vehicle.

Law enforcement officials say Williams was driving a stolen sport utility vehicle on Sept. 17 through Tonganoxie, when he lost control of the SUV and it rolled on its side along U.S. Highway 24-40. Williams fled the scene of the accident.

Several days later, Lansing police officers spotted Williams, allegedly driving a stolen pickup truck, which was involved in an accident as Williams tried to flee. He was taken to St. John’s Hospital, but walked away from there. Williams was recaptured several days later.

In addition, he is a suspect in several vehicle burglaries in the county.
