Ex-con charged in Kan. aggravated robbery to stand trial

HUTCHINSON -A Kansas man arrested for allegedly robbing LoanMax Title Loans in Hutchinson in May was bound over for trial on Thursday.

Jerry Allen Anderson Jr., 29, Hutchinson, is charged with aggravated robbery after he allegedly walked into the business and demanded money at gunpoint.

He got away with about $1,400 and left in a black four-door automobile.

The victim testified Thursday morning about the suspect coming into the business then coming through a door that leads behind the counter.

That is when she says she saw the gun and she said that the suspect spoke in a soft voice, “this is how we’re going to do this.”

She testified the suspect told her to put her hands up and stated he wanted the cash.

She opened the drawer and placed the money on the counter. He grabbed it and ran out. She was able to identify Anderson as the one who robbed her because of photos provided by police.

Police Sgt. Detective Tyson Myers testified about a search of a home where Anderson was living and found items consistent with what he was wearing the day of the robbery including a black Atlanta Braves baseball cap and a black dew rag.

The gun is believed to have been a BB-gun that looks like a real gun.

Anderson will be arraigned on October 5, in front of Judge Trish Rose.

Anderson was paroled in January for another conviction of aggravated robbery from 2007 in Leavenworth County.
