Reno County to pay over $11,000 for frying pan attack

? A Reno County inmate who was stopped by a frying pan while allegedly trying to assault an elderly Hutchinson woman will cost the county more than $11,000.

Kevin Scott Funderburk is scheduled to appear in Reno County Court Friday on charges of attempted rape, aggravated sexual battery and aggravated battery.

Prosecutors say Funderbunk in December convinced a 71-year-old Hutchinson woman he was homeless and needed help. After she let him into her home, he allegedly tried to assault her and she knocked him unconscious with a frying pan.

The Hutchinson News reports that Funderbunk was arrested before being taken to the Wichita hospital to have his scalp stapled. Because the medical care occurred after the arrest, Reno County will pay just over $11,000 for his treatment.
