Devontae Deshon Rae Torres, 24, of Lawrence, pleaded no contest in Douglas County District Court to one count of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, specifically a pit bull.

Two additional misdemeanor counts were originally charged.
A police affidavit alleges Torres and three others attacked Joseph Gill and Keith Allen at The Reserve West 31st Street apartments on June 26, 2022.
