Charges Filed Following Courtroom Disturbance

WICHITA, Kan. — The investigation into the April 8 disturbance in Chief Judge Jeffrey Goering’s courtroom has concluded. On April 24, detectives with the Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Office presented their findings to the Sedgwick County District Attorney’s Office for formal charging consideration.

On April 28, the District Attorney charged Jeanette Dees, 48, of Wichita, with one count of disorderly conduct under Kansas Statute 21-6203(a)(3), defined as using fighting words or engaging in noisy conduct likely to arouse alarm, anger or resentment in others.

Also on April 28, Derrick E. Parker, Jr., 33; Trentasia Hutton, 24; Trentez Hutton, 21; Trentavies Hutton, 18; and a 16-year-old male — all of Wichita — were each charged with one count of disorderly conduct under Kansas Statute 21-6203(a)(1), defined as brawling or fighting.

These charges stem from a disturbance that occurred during a sentencing hearing for Te’Bryis Robinson. The incident prompted an immediate response from court security deputies to restore order to the courtroom.
