KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas Rep. Aaron Coleman has reached a diversion agreement in a domestic-violence case filed late last year.
Johnson County District Court Judge James Phelan signed off Monday on a diversion agreement with the Democratic representative from Kansas City, Kansas.
Coleman was charged with domestic battery in connection with an Oct. 30, 2021, incident.
Coleman previously had pleaded not guilty to the charges, which court documents indicated involved a male family member.
The agreement ends at least one of Coleman’s legal issues.
Less than a month after he was charged in in the domestic-violence incident, Coleman was arrested on suspicion of DUI in Douglas County.
Those charges were eventually amended to speeding and failure to yield by Douglas County prosecutors.
Coleman has twice faced complaints from fellow legislators for his actions.
