KINGMAN, Kansas, July 4, 2008 – (AP) - The former police chief of Kingman will have to wait two more weeks before hearing his sentence for domestic violence.

A sentencing hearing for John Braden was scheduled for Thursday in Kingman County District Court, but had to be postponed until July 18 because of a scheduling conflict.

Braden pleaded guilty May 30 to felony criminal threat and misdemeanor battery following a fight with his girlfriend in April.

He resigned as police chief at the time.

City officials earlier this week appointed Officer Marc Holloway as the new police chief.
