TOPEKA, KAN. – A federal jury convicted a Kansas man of assault with a deadly weapon following an incident on a United States Army installation, according to the United State's Attorney.
In November 2023, Jordan Thompson, 24, assaulted an adult male victim while at Fort Riley.
According to court documents and evidence presented at trial, Thompson was involved in a domestic dispute with his estranged wife. He used a 9 mm caliber pistol to threaten the victim who was at the home of the child’s mother, and then left with the minor. The incident prompted officials to issue an Amber Alert.
Thompson is scheduled to be sentenced on December 12, and faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison. A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.
The Department of Army Criminal Investigation Division, Fort Riley Department of the Army
Civilian Police, Kansas Bureau of Investigation, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Kansas Highway
Patrol, and the Butler County Sheriff’s Office investigated the case.
