(KMZA)--A Marysville man has pleaded guilty to charges stemming from a jail escape last October.
According to a news release from Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt, 31-year-old Matson Hatfield pleaded guilty Tuesday in Marshall County District Court to one count of attempted first-degree murder and two counts of attempted second-degree murder along with 12 other counts.
Sentencing was set for November 27.
Authorities say Hatfield and Jeffrey Guenther escaped from the Marshall County Jail on October 14 of last year.
During their escape, the two men alleged lit a cell on fire and obtained two shotguns.
Hatfield fled to a nearby home and surrendered a short time later. Guenther allegedly stole a pickup truck and lead authorities on a chase. He was arrested after rolling the truck in rural Gage County, Nebraska.
The Kansas Bureau of Investigation says shots were fired at a Marysville Fire Department truck and a man in front of a home. No one was hurt.
The case was investigated by the KBI , the Marshall County Sheriff’s Office and the Marysville Police Department.
The case is being prosecuted by the Kansas Attorney General’s Office.
