18 Year old Facing Decades in PRISON Starts Snitching During Court

First Court Appearance

The video covers the first court appearance of 18-year-old Corwin Allen Bastien in Butler County, Kansas. He faces charges stemming from an alleged incident on October 21, 2026:

• Aggravated robbery involving a handgun
• Aggravated battery with a handgun
• Two misdemeanor possession-related charges
• Unlawfully discharging a firearm within El Dorado city limits

Bastien says he does not understand the charges and insists that he is the wrong person. He repeatedly tells the court that investigators know he did not use a firearm and that he gave them someone else’s name.

The judge explains that Bastien will not enter a plea at this hearing and advises him to speak with an attorney. Near the end, Bastien asks whether he can provide information about other people. The judge says that is something to discuss with a lawyer, not at a first appearance. The video’s host describes this as “snitching” and characterizes Bastien as inexperienced with the criminal justice system.

Bond and Next Steps

The state requests a $75,000 bond, citing the seriousness of the alleged offenses and concerns about community safety. The judge sets bond at $250,000 cash or surety and orders Bastien to:

• Have no contact with the victims or property
• Not possess alcohol or illegal drugs

The judge schedules a preliminary-hearing control docket for November 9 at 2:30 p.m., to be held by Zoom, and urges Bastien to obtain counsel or apply for court-appointed representation.

The charges are allegations; this hearing does not determine guilt.
