She Gave BACK Her Guns to Killer

A Newton woman is facing a federal charge after authorities said she is suspected of giving Cedric Ford the two weapons he used to shoot 17 people in Hesston on Thursday.

Sarah Jo Hopkins, 28, is the mother of Ford’s 4-year-old daughter and 2-year-old son…

According to the affidavit, Hopkins said during an interview with law enforcement Friday that she:
▪ Was in a relationship with Ford and lived with him in Newton for period of time
▪ Bought both weapons at A Pawn Shop…
▪ Moved out of their home in July 2015 but left the guns with Ford
▪ Retrieved the guns from the house with help of Newton Police less than a month later “because she had purchased the weapons and they belonged to her”
▪ Gave the guns back to Ford later that month “because Ford had threatened her.…"
