The Geary County Booking Photos on Friday included the arrest of Christopher Thomas, 19, Junction City on allegations including three counts of Attempted Murder in the 1st Degree, three counts of Aggravated Assault with deadly weapon and one count each of Criminal Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon and Failure to Appear.
According to Junction City Police Detective Captain Trish Giordano, the arrest of Thomas occurred on a Geary County District Court warrant Thursday on Parkside on the north side of the city. He was taken into custody without incident.
Giordano explained the arrest stemmed from an alleged altercation with multiple people earlier in April. “There was an altercation in the 100 block of West 16th Street with some individuals. About 10 shots were fired off. No one was hit. There was a vehicle that was hit, and we had been looking for Mr. Thomas.”
Giordano indicated police were unsure what the altercation was about, but added they believe “it was over a girl.”
