HUTCHINSON – A Kansas man charged for the armed robbery of Dollar General at 7 S. Adams back in October of 2015 was bound over for trial with two more counts added on Monday.
Leroy Randall, 54, Hutchinson, is charged with two counts of kidnapping and one count of aggravated robbery. The state then announced they would amend the complaint adding two counts of aggravated assault.
Police say a store employee reporting that she heard a knock at a back door of the business.
Thinking it was the other employee she opened the door and a black male came in the store, stuck a gun in her face and demanded money.
That employee reportedly screamed, causing another employee to come out of the bathroom of the store.
Randall is then alleged to have pointed the gun at him as well. Both testified to what happened and both admitted to being scared. One thought the gunman was going to shoot them. He also made them give him their cell phones.
During the robbery, Randall allegedly got away with over $5,480. Randall’s female roommate testified that he told her what he was going to do and then after he came back, she watched him count the money. she also admitted that she cut up a stocking cap they he used as the mask in the robbery.
The judge also increased Randall’s bond to $125,000 after the defense asked for a bond modification. He has other prior convictions for robbery and kidnapping and because of his past, the judge said he would consider raising the bond, but not lowering it. Arraignment in the case will be on April 4.
