County counselor reports guilty verdicts in criminal nuisance abatement case
Summary
County Counselor Jacob Hansen told the commission that a criminal nuisance abatement trial resulted in guilty verdicts on all three counts; a dispositional hearing and potential appeal are the next steps.
Jacob Hansen, Riley County counselor, updated commissioners July 30 on a criminal nuisance abatement prosecution, reporting the trial produced guilty verdicts on all three counts. He said the case has a dispositional hearing scheduled and that an appeal remains a possible next step.
Hansen described the verdict as the first criminal nuisance abatement trial in the county and said the conviction "will help us in presenting to the legislature" and potentially affect a sunset provision in the county’s nuisance law. The commission did not take any formal action on the litigation during the open session other than to note the update and next procedural steps.
