Joshua Knapp, charged with the murder of Iolan Shawn Cook, made his first court appearance Monday.
District Judge Daniel Creitz set Knapp’s bond at $1 million, and scheduled a status hearing for 1:30 p.m., June 15.
Knapp, 34, of Bourbon County, was arrested March 24 on unrelated charges, and had been held in the Hutchinson state prison since then.
He’ll serve the remainder of a 90-day probation revocation sentence in the Allen County Jail, as ordered by the Kansas Department of Corrections, before being eligible for bond in the Cook case.
Creitz appointed Chanute attorney Jay Witt to represent Knapp, one of two defendants charged with Cook’s killing.
Iolan Amber Boeken, 24, also is in the Allen County Jail on $1 million bond.
Both are charged with first-degree murder.
