What Assistant District Attorney Andrew Davidson described as bizarre, a 27-year-old Hutchinson man called police Wednesday to report a burglary at a neighbors home. Turns out, David Wiggs is alleged to be the one who committed the burglary.
Police were called on the report of a burglary at a home in the 700 block of West 6th, around 10:45 a-m. When they arrived, they found a broken window to the basement of the home and the back door had been kicked in. They also found blood inside the residence and a boot print found on the back door.
When police made contact with Wiggs, he had one of his hands in his pocket. At first, he refused to take it out, but when he did, it was clear that his hand had recently been cut. They also found blood inside his residence which is located in the same area as the burglary scene. Wiggs had taken off his boots, but when police saw the boots, they matched the boot print found at the burglary scene. The one boot also had some paint that had chipped off when it made contact with the door.
The only thing taken from the residence was three packs of cigarettes according to Davidson. They were allegedly found in Wiggs home. Also found was some marijuana and drug paraphernalia.
Charges include burglary of a dwelling, possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia and criminal damage to property.
In court he asked for a reduction of the 8-thousand, 250-dollar bond, but when asked by Magistrate Judge Randy McEwen why he should reduce the bond? Wiggs could only state. “I don’t know.” Bond reduction was denied.
Wiggs will be back in court next Wednesday for a status hearing.
