Man charged with aggravated assault

Jermelle Andre Lamont Byers was charged on Monday with two counts of aggravated assault and one count each of criminal possession of a firearm and criminal damage to property.

The charges were filed by Wyandotte County District Attorney Mark Dupree Sr.

The charges were filed in connection with an incident on Nov. 30, 2016. Byers’ bond was set at $40,000.

“It needs to be known across this county that if you commit any crime in Wyandotte County, big or small, if we have the evidence, we’re coming after every last one of them. Because no person in my community should have to deal with being violated, because someone wants to be a criminal,” Dupree stated in a news release.

Other charges filed recently against other individuals in Wyandotte County District Court included:
• Jose Moreno Arreola was charged with one count of possession of methamphetamine.
• Saul Gallardo was charged with one count of possession of hydrocodone, one count of possession of oxycodone and one count of possession of marijuana.
• Megan Lisk was charged with one count of possession of drug paraphernalia.

The charges stem from incidents on Jan. 29 and Jan. 30, according to the district attorney’s office.
