HUTCHINSON, Kan. — One of four charged in association with a robbery at knife point back on Aug. 3, has entered a plea in the case.

That’s when two of them wrapped their shirts around their heads, pulled a knife and robbed the four of $85.

They were in a vehicle allegedly driven by Anderson. She was detained, but not arrested with the other three.

Sentencing for Bryant will be at 10:30 a.m. on Nov. 18 in front of Judge Tim Chambers.

The cases against the other three is still pending a preliminary hearing.
