Preliminary hearing set
LARNED — Loren Lane, 57 of Larned, made his first appearance and Magistrate Judge Danny Smith set a date of April 10, for a preliminary hearing in Pawnee County District Court.
Lane has been charged by the Pawnee County Attorney’s Office with involuntary manslaughter while under the influence of alcohol, failure to yield at an intersection, and failure to wear a seatbelt.
The charges stem from a Feb. 3, 2011, traffic accident involving two vehicles on K-156 west of Larned. The accident report indicates Lane’s vehicle turned into oncoming traffic at the intersection of 130th Ave. Rick E. Perez died as a result of injuries he sustained in the incident. Perez was 47 at the time.
