GEARY COUNTY —A Kansas woman involved in an alleged domestic incident involving a Junction City City commissioner
During a Geary County District Court hearing Monday, 26-year-old Corrieyonna Trice entered a not guilty plea to a misdemeanor charge of Domestic Battery involving Commissioner 30-year-old Alovence Gordon with whom she lived.
A jury trial was scheduled for September 15 in the case.
Trice was charged following the alleged incident involving Gordon. He too faces one misdemeanor count of Domestic Battery with arraignment scheduled on June 2.
On January 23, police were called to their home. Trice had earlier testified about a fight with Gordon revolving around hair clips that she had laid out to do her hair. The clips wound up in a shopping bag carried by Gordon with a dispute over who had initially possessed the clips.
Earlier this month, the court denied a defense motion for immunity from prosecution by Gordon in the case.
Gordon and Trice had been in a relationship for nearly seven years. Both were released from custody on own recognizance, according to online jail records.
