Robbery-linked drug dealers face court action in Wichita case
Prosecutors accuse three Wichita men of acting under Michael Hammond in plans to rob a drug dealer’s apartment. They burst into the wrong unit on December 2, holding three EU students at gunpoint. Hammond later pleaded no contest to two conspiracy counts after an attempted second night robbery was foiled. Local officials note victims are often young, college-age drug sellers. Authorities stress targeting robbers to prevent deadly violence and emphasize immunity considerations for drug charges tied to the robbery.
