OLATHE, Kan. — A man, facing seven charges in Johnson County , made his first appearance in court Thursday.
Sulif Wilkins sat silent in a Johnson County courtroom while being asked if he had financial resources to hire an attorney. At no point did he verbally acknowledge the Judge.
He’s in court after an encounter with Overland Park Police earlier this week .

“It was an extremely dangerous situation because we had members of the public inside the McDonald’s, and he was in front of that store, which caused problems for the police department. Luckily, nobody got hurt,” Johnson County District Attorney Steve Howe said.
“Overland Park Police Department did a great job of basically controlling the situation without any injuries.”
This stems from an aggravated assault call from Tuesday, near College Blvd and Oakmont Street in Overland Park. Officers initially didn’t find Wilkins, but eventually spotted him on a traffic camera sitting on a vehicle in a McDonald’s parking lot.
