Hearing postponed in case of KU student charged with attempted rape
Douglas County District Court Judge Robert Fairchild granted a continuance yesterday for Michael D. Carpenter, the 21-year-old University of Kansas student charged with the attempted rape of a 20-year-old KU student.
Fairchild set Carpenter's new preliminary hearing for Oct. 1.
Carpenter was also charged with slipping gamma hydroxybutryic acid (GHB) to three female KU students, including the one he allegedly attempted to rape.
He was also charged with possession of the drug and possession of drug paraphanelia.
Carpenter was arrested Thursday after one of the three women tested positive for the date-rape drug while being treated injuries after a car accident.
KU student charged with aggravated battery in weekend incident
Travis Loeser, a 19-year-old University of Kansas freshman from Sugar Land, Texas, was formally charged with aggravated battery yesterday in Douglas County District Court.
Loeser was arrested early Monday for allegedly attempting to murder a 27-year-old KU student and assaulting a 32-year-old man with a knife. The charges were downgraded in yesterday's hearing.
His father, Bruce Loeser, appeared before District County District Court Judge Peggy Kitle before his bond was set. Brad Burke, assistant district attorney, had originally requested a bond of $25,000.
Bruce Loeser, who is also an attorney, requested a lowered bond, citing his son's enrollment at the University, a new lease at Chase Court Apartments, a new dog and his substance abuse counseling at Counseling and Psychiatric Services.
Douglas County District Court Judge Peggy Kittel set his bond at $2,500.
Travis Loeser is scheduled to appear before Judge Jack Murphy on Monday.

KC carjacking suspect shot, killed by police
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - A suspected carjacker who aimed a pistol at police was shot to death by officers Monday afternoon.
Police did not immediately identify the man. Police said he was a suspect in a carjacking that had occurred about 10 minutes earlier.
Police said a woman reported that she was cleaning out the back seat of her car when a man got into the front seat, brandishing a gun and threatening the woman. She let him have the car.
About 10 minutes later, police spotted the car, which had been abandoned on railroad tracks. Police said they then saw a man matching the description of the carjacker walking about a block away.
When police confronted him, the man pulled a revolver from his waist band, pointed it at the officers and cocked the gun. That's when police shot him.
Police Capt. Rich Lookhart said it was unclear how many shots were fired or whether any shots were fired by the suspect.
The officers involved in the incident were not identified.
