WICHITA, Kan.
Only the cleats were left behind when the statue of Jackie Robinson was stolen from a park in Wichita.
A judge sentenced Ricky Alderete Friday on three different cases that he said in court stemmed from his addiction to fentanyl. Firefighters found burned remnants of the statue five days later while responding to a trash can fire at another park about 7 miles away. “I let fentanyl take over me and made a lot of poor decisions. I am not going to deny that. I never meant to hurt anybody,” he said in court Friday. “I am embarrassed, I’m ashamed. Whatever you do today I accept. I am ready for that. I believe I am where I am supposed to be right now because at the rate I am going, I might have been dead.”
