A Baxter Springs man will spend more than three decades behind bars for a 2016 stabbing death.
On Tuesday, a judge sentenced 38-year-old Brian Waterman to more than 36 years in prison on charges of attempted premeditated murder, aggravated kidnapping and aggravated burglary charges. A jury convicted Waterman back in November following a three-day trial. Those charges are from a May 2016 incident, where Waterman stabbed someone during a home invasion in Baxter Springs. Authorities searched for him in southeast Kansas and southwest Missouri. He was arrested the next day in Miami.
