WICHITA, Kan. (AP) - A 30-year-old man accused in a random attack on a Wichita woman last week will remain in custody pending trial.
Wade Dunn was charged Monday in federal court with aggravated escape from custody. KAKE-TV reports a criminal complaint accuses him of escaping from the Mirror Residential Reentry Center on Sept. 23.
Prosecutors say he left the halfway house and stabbed a 28-year-old woman who was standing outside. Officials said during the weekend that the victim is improving and is assisting investigators.
Police arrested Dunn just after midnight Saturday. He has not made a court appearance on charges related to the attack.
Dunn was sentenced in July of 2017 to 33 months in federal prison for unlawful possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. He was transferred to the halfway house in July.
