LV man earns prison for obscene rant
06/14/2023

(KAIR)--A 59-year-old Leavenworth man has been found guilty of disorderly conduct after shouting obscenities at a child care worker in front of a van full of children and a preschool.

That's according to a release issued by the office of Leavenworth County Attorney, Todd Thompson, which says 58-year-old Richard Sherman was arrested April 13, by Kansas Highway Patrol Troopers and a Leavenworth County Sheriff- Deputy, at a child care center on the outskirts of Tonganoxie, where the obscenities were shouted.

According to the release, a judge sentenced Sherman to 30 days of incarceration last week in Leavenworth County District Court, but he was granted credit for the time already served.

The release explains that the victim in the case, the driver of the child care van, testified that while driving the van, with 13 children onboard, she saw Sherman walking towards the child care center. She stopped near the entrance and informed Sherman that the building was no longer a church, with Sherman becoming angry, which led to his cursing. The victim rolled up her window and drove the van to the front door of the center, followed by another van carrying 12 children. Sherman followed both vans and attempted to open the door of the building when they reached the center. Sherman approached the door of the facility, which is also where the children were going from the van. Sherman exclaimed he just wanted water, but wouldn’t stop yelling and cursing. Finally, the victim had to tell Sherman that she would call the cops if he did not leave, and eventually asked other employees to call 911. Sherman continued to yell profanities as he walked away, even after being informed that 911 had been called, leading to his arrest.
