McCroy
HUTCHINSON, Kan. – A 27-year-old man already serving time in prison on a number of felony charges was before a judge for the reading of a new charge of felony theft.
Patrick McCroy is now accused of stealing a Ford F-350 pickup in August of this year. His bond in that case is set at $2,500 and he requested a signature bond so he could go to rehab once he’s released from prison, which apparently will happen on Dec. 20. Magistrate Judge Cheryl Allen denied his request.
He’s been serving time for convictions including aggravated robbery, aggravated burglary, obstruction, possession of drugs, drug paraphernalia and driving while suspended. Those cases go back to 2012 and 2013.
McCroy admitted to breaking into a Hutchinson apartment and beating the occupant, wanting items from his apartment. He forced his way into the apartment and began beating the alleged victim with a stick. He was demanding a television that he claimed belonged to his sister, but also allegedly wanted pills, the victim’s phone, money, computers and other electronic items.
McCroy was on corrections for the 2012 convictions of obstruction, possession of drugs and drug paraphernalia at the time of that incident.
His new case will move to a future waiver-status docket.
