HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A 57-year-old man on community corrections was arrested over the weekend in a domestic case. He’s accused of stealing money from his ex-wife.

Edward Rouse is jailed for robbery, battery-domestic violence, and theft.

According to police, his ex-wife was traveling on 4th Avenue Saturday afternoon and saw Rouse was following her. She then stopped at 4th & Pershing. He approached her vehicle and asked for money. She offered him $40, but he reportedly grabbed her wallet. She attempted to get it back, but he drove off.

Police went to his residence and found the $250 in cash in his pocket, as well as other items from his ex-wife’s wallet. Officers found her wallet in his mailbox.

Rouse made a first court appearance Monday where his bond of $11,000 was left the same.

Rouse also faces a possible corrections violation for convictions of distribution of drugs and possession of drug paraphernalia.

He has also served time in prison for convictions of robbery, drug manufacturing, theft and forgery for cases in Wyandotte and Johnson counties.

He should be back in court next week.
