71-year-old Hutchinson woman knocks attacker unconscious with frying pan
Hutchinson — Hutchinson police say a 71-year-old woman knocked a man who attacked her unconscious with her frying pan.
Police Sgt. John Moore say a 25-year-old man talked his way into the woman's home on Saturday, claiming he was homeless and had nowhere to go.
Moore says when he tried to attack the woman, she fought back and "beat him down with a frying pan." When police arrived, he was unconscious on the floor.
The man is jailed on $55,200 bond on suspicion of attempted rape, aggravated battery, criminal restraint and criminal damage to property. He was wearing a neck brace when he made his first appearance Tuesday in court.
The Hutchinson News reports that the woman was injured but Moore did not release how serious her injuries were.

An Arkansas man suspected of stealing a vehicle on the KU campus and causing a fatality accident north of Lawrence on Tuesday was formally charged in Douglas County District Court at a hearing Wednesday.
Zachary Tyler Harrison, 23, of Cabot, Ark., faces six felony charges, two misdemeanors and one traffic infraction, according to court records from the Douglas County District Attorney’s office.
The fatality accident occurred at about 3:40 a.m. Tuesday on Highway 24/59 north of Lawrence. Police say a man stole a vehicle from a newspaper delivery driver on Jayhawk Boulevard on the KU campus just before the accident that left one 21-year-old Nebraska man dead and three others hospitalized.
The charges are:
– Involuntary manslaughter while driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. – Three counts of aggravated battery for the other three passengers’ injuries.
– Leaving the scene of an accident involving the death of a person.
– Failure to report an accident to the police.
– Following another vehicle too closely.
– Criminal deprivation of property.
– Failure to report an accident involving unattended property.
Cameron Freeman, 21, of Lincoln, Neb., died at KU Hospital Tuesday. Of the three other 21-year-old Lincoln men who were injured in the accident, Casey Kettler and Michael Larsen were treated at Lawrence Memorial Hospital and later released and Fernando Pages is still being treated at KU Hospital, according to hospital records.
Capt. Schuyler Bailey, spokesman for the KU Public Safety Office, said Harrison and the four Nebraska men were not connected to the University.
Harrison’s next hearing will be held at 2 p.m. today. His bond is set at $175,000.
