(KAIR)--No change yet in the charges filed against three Atchison men accused of playing a role in a fatal September altercation.

According to the Doniphan County Attorney’s Office, Matthew Cole Scherer, Brian Spilman, Jr., and Scott Vandeloo remain charged with aggravated battery stemming from the altercation during an overnight Doniphan County party.

According to the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, 42-year-old Cummings resident Jason Pantle was hospitalized during the early morning hours of September 22, and died September 28 while remaining under hospitalized care.

According to the KBI, amended charges are expected to be filed, but the Doniphan County Attorney’s Office Friday said that has not yet happened as the investigation remains in progress.

30-year-old Scherer and 22-year-old Spilman are scheduled for November 19 court appearances, while 44-year-old Vandeloo is scheduled to appear on the morning of October 29.

All three remain in custody, held on bonds of $150,000 each.
