A report of a hit-and-run accident in Parsons leads to the arrest of a suspect on felony charges.
The initial hit-and-run occurred around 10:30 last Friday morning, when police were called to the 2700 block of Briggs Avenue. Upon arrival, officers encountered a chaotic and developing situation that quickly escalated into a serious investigation involving allegations of violence, aggravated burglary, and a firearms-related offense.
The victim in the case stated that the suspect – 28-year-old Cedric Webb Jr – had struck their vehicle as he was fleeing their residence. Prior to the accident, the victim told officers that Webb had entered their residence without permission, struck and choked the victim, and displayed an AR-15 style weapon. Webb was not found at the scene, but later appeared voluntarily at the Parsons Police Department where he admitted to officers that he carried a weapon for personal protection but denied that he had entered the victim's home.
Statements from multiple witnesses, physical evidence, and surveillance footage led to Webb being taken into custody. He was arrested on charges of Aggravated Burglary, Aggravated Battery, Battery, Driving While Suspended, Leaving the Scene of an Accident and Failure to Report. Webb was taken to the Labette County Jail and his bond is set at $100,000.
The investigation remains ongoing.
