Shandon Hoobler/Atchison Co Jail

(KAIR)--A rural Horton man, already serving a prison sentence for child sex crimes, now faces additional charges stemming from an Atchison County Sheriff's Office investigation into similar crimes.


According to a release from Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie, 34-year-old Shandon Hoobler was arrested August 31 on an outstanding Atchison County District Court warrant charging him with two counts of aggravated indecent liberties with a child.


Laurie, in the release, explains that the warrant stems from a 2021 investigation into two separate incidents, with the first believed to have occurred in 2007/2008 with a child under the age of 14. The second occurred in 2013, and involved a child under the age of 14.


Hoobler, already serving his past sentence in a Kansas prison, was transported from there to the Atchison County Jail, where he's held on a $500,000 bond.

According to past MSC News reporting, Hoobler, in 2015, was sentenced to over 12-years in prison, after being convicted in Brown County District Court on child sex related charges, including electronic solicitation and sexual exploitation.

At the time of Hoobler's sentencing, authorities said those crimes happened between January 1 and May 16 in 2014.
