LEAVENWORTH COUNTY — A Kansas man is going to prison for intentionally hitting a man with his pickup truck.
Stephen Wayne Cox, 38, Leavenworth, was sentenced to just over 13 years in prison, according to the Leavenworth County District Attorney's office.
In May of 2016, Cox saw his ex-girlfriend inside of a car with another man near South Broadway and Spruce Streets in Leavenworth.
Cox followed the car to 20th and Spruce and threw a metal object at the vehicle. When the man in the car got out, Cox hit him with his pickup truck. The victim suffered several broken ribs and a broken leg.
At sentencing, Cox asked the judge for probation or a lesser sentence, but that request was denied. He remains in the Leavenworth County jail, according to online records.
