G.C. man charged with attempted murder

Published 2/1/2010 in Local News : Police

By THE TELEGRAM

A Garden City man who police shot last week has been charged with nine criminal counts in Finney County.

Gustavo Ramos-Beleta, 46, 206 W. Wesley St., has been charged with attempted first degree murder, aggravated burglary, aggravated intimidation of a witness, two counts of criminal threat, intimidation of a witness, stalking, violation of a protect-from-abuse-order and child endangerment, Finney County Attorney John Wheeler said this morning.

Ramos-Beleta was shot by police Jan. 25 after officers responded to a report of someone breaking into a residence at 806 Alfalfa St., Apt. 2.

Police found Ramos-Beleta repeatedly stabbing a 40-year-old woman. He was shot and taken into custody.

He was treated then taken into custody at the Finney County jail at noon Friday.

Ramos-Beleta is held on a $900,000 bond.

The woman Ramos-Beleta allegedly stabbed was taken to St. Catherine. She was released Friday, according to St. Catherine spokeswoman Janie Wimmer.

Police will not release the her name, citing the incident as domestic battery.

Two Garden City Police officers are on leave with pay following the incident.

Police Sgt. Michael Reagle said an internal audit is conducted any time an officer fires a gun.

Police have requested the Kansas Bureau of Investigation handle the incident and conduct the internal audit.
