Hutchinson Police report that over the past nine months, they have received a large volume of calls from businesses and citizens in the city reporting a female asking for money for a variety of different reasons.
The female was persistent enough in most cases to the point where it was upsetting the citizens or disrupting the business she was panhandling from.
Citizens have also been concerned that the female is not always being truthful with the reason why she was asking for money. The Hutchinson Police Department has identified the female as having the first name of Kristi. She is a 49-year-old white female, standing 5 ft., 3-inches tall, weighing around 160 pounds with blue eyes, blonde hair, and has been driving a silver 2007 Nissan Altima with KS tag 181GPK.
At this time, the city of Hutchinson doesn’t have a law against panhandling. However, if you are approached by Kristi and you are concerned about her of if she is disruptive to the business that she’s at, you’re asked to notify police immediately so we can address the matter.
