The preliminary hearing for a 31-year-old Hutchinson man arrested back on May 25th, after he allegedly entered a Hutchinson woman’s home and attempted to take the keys to her vehicle resumed this morning and he was bound over on an amended complaint.

Joshua Bourell is jailed on a 100-thousand dollar bond on charges of aggravated robbery, amended from attempted aggravated robbery, aggravated burglary, criminal threat, and three counts of auto burglary. The state was also granted permission to add additional counts aggravated assault, another count of auto burglary, felony interference with law enforcement and a misdemeanor charge of criminal damage to property.

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.

Bourell had been granted a mental evaluation at Horizon’s Mental Health Center and had been found competent for the case to continue.

He will be arraigned early next month on the charges.
