Welcome to Arrest Stories.
A Junction City Vice Mayor has been arrested in connection with an alleged aggravated assault that took place on November 8, 2025. Here's what may have happened:
According to reports, Alovence Gordon, the city's Vice Mayor and a member of the City Commission, was taken into custody by the Geary County Sheriff's Office at approximately 3:24 pm Saturday and booked into the Geary County Detention Center around 3:41 p.m. The charges against him include aggravated assault and use of a deadly weapon.
Gordon has been serving as Vice Mayor of Junction City, a position he was expected to hold until January 2026 when his term is set to expire. However, on January 23rd, a domestic battery charge was filed against him, which is scheduled for a jury trial beginning November 14th. The exact circumstances surrounding these charges and the alleged aggravated assault are still unclear.
The City of Junction City has released a statement regarding Gordon's arrest, saying that the matter is unrelated to city operations and will continue as scheduled. They have declined to make any further comment on the situation, directing all inquiries to the Geary County Attorney's Office.
As this story continues to unfold, we will provide updates as more information becomes available. For now, it remains unclear what led to Gordon's arrest or whether his role as Vice Mayor has any connection to these allegations.
