HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Kansas Court of Appeals upheld the findings of District Judge Trish Rose to suppress evidence in the case against a 29-year-old man charged with robbing LoanMax Title Loans.

The defense challenged the identification made by the alleged victim. Defense Attorney Sarah McKinnon also argued that, as part of Kansas Law, the parole officer can only search — or grant a search — of the parolee, not his residence. District Attorney Keith Schroeder then argued that McKinnon was not using the correct statute of law. He believes a parole officer can search a parolee’s residence at any time for any reason.

After another hearing, Judge Rose suppressed that evidence again. This time, the appeals court upheld her ruling.

District Attorney Keith Schroeder says he is still considering his choices over the Friday decision. He may file a petition for review with the Kansas Supreme Court, or he may go to trial without that evidence. Schroeder said he doesn’t believe it will hurt his case that badly.

Anderson is charged with aggravated robbery after he allegedly walked into the business and demanded money at gunpoint. 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 crime occurred on May 4, 2015.

Anderson has prior convictions for aggravated robbery from 2007, but also has a conviction for felony flee and elude. Both convictions are from separate incidents out of Leavenworth County.
