A Boonville man charged with attempted murder in January of 2021 is scheduled to be sentenced.

According to a Boonville Police report, on January 3, 2021, officers were dispatched to a residence to a report of shots fired. A woman told authorities Kalynn Dean Hendren pointed a rifle at her, and while wrestling over the rifle, Hendren fired one round. Officers found the spent shell casing, and the bullet fragment was located in the wall of the living room.

Court documents say Hendren was charged with felonies for attempted murder in the second degree, domestic assault in the first degree and armed criminal action.

Hendren entered a plea of not guilty on January 6, 2021, and was indicted by a Grand Jury on March 22.

During his court proceeding on Monday, July 11, as part of a plea agreement, Hendren entered an Alford Plea to the attempted murder in the second degree charge. The state dismissed the other charges.

Hendren is scheduled to be sentenced at 1:30 p.m. on Monday, September 26, at Cooper County Circuit Court.
