(KAIR)--A Leavenworth County man is going to prison, sentenced last week in connection with the 2018 death of his girlfriend.

According to a release from Leavenworth County Attorney Todd Thompson, 67-year-old Dan Flannagan was sentenced Friday in Leavenworth County District Court to just one-month shy of 5-years in prison for voluntary manslaughter.

The charge stems from the April 3, 2018 death of Constance Perryman, who lived with Flannagan.

The couple argued on that date, with Thompson saying “Flannagan fired a shotgun multiple times catching the attention of one of his roommates who lived in a trailer on the property.” That roommate saw Flannagan and Perryman outside arguing. Then, after having returned inside, heard another shot and went back outside to investigate, finding Flannagan, standing near where Perryman was last seen, saying thew words “get up.” It was later found that Perryman had wounds from shotgun pellets on her arm and one pellet wound that went under her arm, with that wound striking her heart and killing her.

At sentencing it was noted that Flannagan had virtually no criminal history aside from a few misdemeanors.
