Lansing inmate, convicted in Jefferson Co, found dead Tuesday

(KAIR)--An inmate at the Lansing Correctional Facility, once convicted for the aggravated assault of a law enforcement officer in Jefferson County, is dead after being found unresponsive in his cell.

That’s according to a Tuesday evening release from the Kansas Department of Corrections, which identifies him as 32-year-old Raymond Michael Sanders. Sanders died Tuesday afternoon after staff and emergency medical personnel were unable to revive him. His cause of death awaits the results of an independent autopsy.

The KDOC and KBI are investigating, as protocol requires. Sanders was currently serving a 10-month sentence for parole violations.

According to online court records, Sanders was convicted in 2021 in Jefferson County on four counts of aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer after pleading guilty in Jefferson County District Court. According to KDOC, he served 2 years and 9 months in prison for that conviction.
