A 33-year-old Hutchinson man was convicted Friday on multiple felonies including aggravated robbery.
It was back on May 25, 2012 when Joshua Bourell entered a Hutchinson woman’s home and attempted to take the keys to her vehicle saying he needed to get out of town.
Bourell was convicted of aggravated robbery, aggravated burglary, aggravated assault, several counts of auto burglary and felony interference with law enforcement. He was found not guilty on two of the auto burglary counts.
The case centers on Bourell allegedly walking down West B street, trying to break into vehicles and in some cases succeeding, then asking people for their keys, all of which turned him down, so he allegedly entered a home in the 600 block of West B and tried to get a woman’s keys by force, and possibly other items. The woman had two small children in the home at the time. A neighbor apparently observing him knew he shouldn’t be there and confronted him. He was held until police could arrive. He was apparently telling people he needed to get out of town.
Sentencing in the case is set for September 27, in front of Judge Trish Rose.
