A man wanted for multiple bad checks and a trailer theft was found in Sherman County, Kansas, and brought back to Barry County. John Homer Evertt Robison, 43, is charged with eight counts of passing bad checks of $500 or more and one count of receiving stolen property.
According to the affidavits of probable cause, in September 2016, Robison came to an agreement with the victim to purchase a 2001 Biga 18 foot flat bed trailer valued at $1,800. The officer reported that while Robison’s wife hooked up the trailer, Robison offered to pay by check. When the owner of the trailer refused and requested cash, Robison allegedly told him he had cash in the truck. Robison then drove off with the trailer without paying.
Robison also allegedly passed bad checks, including one in November 2016 to a Monett woman. According to the affidavit of probable cause, Robison was supposed to do work for the woman and she paid him $1,438 for materials. When Robison returned, the woman said that the material was not satisfactory for her home. Robison then allegedly agreed to not use the material and pay her back. Robison wrote the victim a check for $1,438 on a closed account.
Robison is currently being held in the Barry County Jail in lieu of a $17,000 cash-only bond.
