HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A 29-year-old man arrested for allegedly robbing LoanMax Title Loans back on May 4, was bound over for trial this morning.
Jerry Allen Anderson Jr. is charged with aggravated robbery after he allegedly walked into the business and demanded money at gun point. He got away with about $1,400 and left in a black four-door automobile, which police found at a residence he shares with Adina Smith.
The victim testified Thursday morning about the black man coming into the business then coming through a door that leads to the behind the counter area. That is when she says she saw the gun and she said that he spoke in a soft voice, “this is how we’re going to do this.” He then told her to put her hands up. He then stated he wanted the cash. She opened the drawer and placed the money on the counter. He then grabbed it, putting down his jeans 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.
With Anderson being bound over for trial, he’ll be arraigned on Oct. 5, in front of Judge Trish Rose.
Anderson was paroled back in January for another conviction of aggravated robbery from 2007, but also a conviction for felony flee and elude. Both convictions from separate incidents are out of Leavenworth County.
