A Derby man has been sentenced to 30 years in prison for attempted first degree murder of law enforcement officers during an armed robbery in 2019.
30-year-old Colt Wright was sentenced in Saline County District Court. He pleaded guilty in March to three counts of attempted first degree murder with a firearm and one count of aggravated battery. He was also ordered to pay $2,596 in restitution, according to the Kansas Attorney General’s Office.
