Lee’s Summit man charged after alleged attack of hospital roommate

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - A Lee’s Summit man has been arrested and charged after he allegedly attacked his hospital roommate as he slept and stomped on his head.

Jackson County, Missouri, Circuit Court records filed on Wednesday, April 16, indicate that Javon Lockett, 30, of Lee’s Summit, has been charged in connection with the attack of a hospital patient.

A probable cause statement filed by the Kansas City Police Department revealed that just before 11:40 p.m. on Tuesday, law enforcement officials were called to the Research Psychiatric Center at 2323 E. 63rd St. with reports of an incident that involved Lockett and another patient.

Witnesses reported Lockett had gone into their room while the victim was asleep, threw him on the ground and stomped on his head multiple times. He stopped when an employee intervened.

The victim told first responders he had been transferred to the hospital earlier that day and only knew he shared the room with another patient. He stated that he woke up and realized he had been attacked. Hospital staff revealed he had suffered an orbital fracture, two nosebone fractures and multiple lacerations.

As a result, Lockett has been charged with assault in the first degree. If convicted, he could face up to 15 years behind bars. A hearing has not yet been scheduled in the case.

As of Friday, April 18, Lockett remains behind bars with no bond listed. No further information has been released.
