Hutchinson man taken to jail for failing to appear in drug case
HUTCHINSON, Kan. — One of two people arrested after a Hutchinson woman reported to police that she had been robbed failed to make it to court on time in another case and was sent to jail by Judge Joe McCarville on a $170,000 bond.
30-year-old Anthony Everhart was scheduled for a preliminary hearing, charged with possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute and possession of drug paraphernalia with intent to package drugs for distribution. He did eventually show up, but long after the hearing was scheduled to begin. Judge McCarville basically told him, “you blew it.”
He was arrested along with 24-year-old Kylie Berry when officers served a search warrant on a home and say they found a little over three grams of methamphetamine and other drugs. The residence is located within a thousand feet of Wiley Elementary School. He also has a third case.
Berry was also not present, but there may have been some confusion with her bonding agent over her appearing.
In the most recent case, Everhart was arrested along with 20-year-old Francesca Wharton. Both have been charged with aggravated robbery while Everhart is also charged with possession of methamphetamine.
The two were taken into custody back on Oct. 15. The 23-year-old victim, Tara Moeller, was apparently lured to the Days Inn Motel by the two when they allegedly held her at gun point and took a zebra print purse and its contents.
Wharton has two other cases pending against her, including four counts of forgery in one and traffic of contraband into a correctional facility in the other.
