Leavenworth County Juvenile Court

A 14-year-old Leavenworth boy has been detained in connection with the Aug. 5 drowning of a Lansing man.

The boy was taken into custody last Wednesday morning at a home in the 600 block of Miami in Leavenworth, according to police Lt. Pat Kitchens. The youth was detained on charges of involuntary manslaughter, battery and theft. A pre-trial hearing is set for next Tuesday in the case, according to a representative of the Leavenworth County attorney’s office.

The boy, who is being held at the Leavenworth County Juvenile Detention Center, is accused in the death of Joseph Nolan, 31, who drowned in the Missouri River. Police say the two were involved in an altercation before Nolan’s death. The two did not know one another before the incident, Kitchens said.

Nolan’s body was discovered two days after he drowned, in Kansas City, Kan., at the confluence of the Kansas and Missouri rivers.

Police initially believed Nolan’s drowning had been a suicide, but officers received information that prompted them to change the focus of their investigation.
