Stalking case against incoming Kansas Rep. Aaron Coleman dismissed by mutual agreement

A stalking case filed by a campaign worker against incoming Kansas Rep. Aaron Coleman, a Kansas City, Kansas, Democrat, has been dismissed after both sides agreed to treat each other with “dignity and respect.”

Brandie Armstrong, a campaign manager for former Kansas Rep. Stan Frownfelter, whom Coleman defeated in a Democratic primary last year, had accused Coleman of sending her harassing messages, coming to her home twice and seeking to have her evicted. Wyandotte County Judge Kate Lynch issued a no-contact order against Coleman in December while the case was pending.

Armstrong’s attorney Barry Grissom said in a statement to The Star that there was no written agreement but rather a promise to “treat each other with dignity and respect.”

“Brandie Armstrong and Aaron Coleman are passionate about helping their constituents,” the statement said. “In service to their constituents, they have resolved a civil case by an agreed upon dismissal.”
