Student arrested for kidnapping and assault

Friday, December 4, 2009

A University student was arrested Wednesday on charges of kidnapping and aggravated assault, according to Douglas County District Court records.

Eric Ashton, Wichita junior, was booked into Douglas County Jail at 2:11 p.m. Wednesday after being arrested at the Sedgwick County Jail in Wichita. Ashton is accused of committing crimes that occurred about 6 weeks before his arrest.

A 21-year-old Lawrence resident reported three crimes Oct. 15: aggravated kidnapping by firearm, aggravated assault and aiding a felon. The report indicates that the offender was suspected of using drugs or narcotics.

Two Lawrence residents are listed as witnesses in the report, one of which is a University student. Ashton was released from jail at 7:47 p.m. Wednesday on a $50,000 bond. He was also ordered to have no contact with the victim or witnesses in the case.

As of Thursday afternoon, the full court record was unavailable and it was unclear when Ashton will be appearing in court next.
