(KAIR)--A September sentencing is set for the Atchison man convicted in connection with a shooting involving an Atchison Police Officer.

According to Atchison County District Court documents, a jury Thursday found 45-year-old Bryan Boldridge guilty of voluntary manslaughter following a three day trial.

He had faced a charge of attempted second degree murder, but the jury instead found him guilty of the lesser charge.

Sentencing for Boldridge is scheduled for the morning of September 13 in Atchison County District Court.

The judge has also ruled to reduce bond at the request of Boldridge’s attorney. Originally held on $150,000, the amount was reduced to $100,000 cash or surety.

As of Monday, Boldridge remained in the Atchison County Jail.

Boldridge was charged following what authorities said was a shooting that occurred October 31, 2018. It happened at an Atchison residence, located at North 4th and L Streets, where police were called to assist a utility company with a theft of service issue. The charges filed against Boldridge followed a KBI investigation that alleged that during the late morning response, he suffered injuries when the officer returned fire after Boldridge began shooting.
