WELLINGTON (October 21, 2011) A Caldwell man has been
sentenced to more than 13 additional years in prison for two counts
of battery against county corrections officers, Kansas Attorney
General Derek Schmidt announced today. Thomas Melvin Guerra, age
24, was originally charged with five counts battery against a
corrections officer, three counts battery against a law enforcement
officer, two counts obstruction of official duty, three counts
criminal threat and one count criminal damage to property. The
crimes occurred in June, September and November 2010 while Guerra
was being housed in the Sumner County Jail pending disposition of
two 2009 cases. In September, Guerra pled guilty to two counts of
battery against a corrections officer. Yesterday, Judge William R.
Mott, sentenced Guerra to 162 months in the Kansas Department of
Corrections to run consecutively with the 167-month term Guerra
received for the 2009 cases. The Summer County Sheriffs Department
conducted the investigation. The case was prosecuted by Assistant
Attorney General Lee Davidson from Schmidts Office.
