PAWNEE COUNTY —A Kansas man arrested July 13, on 19 counts including felony forgery, theft by deception and attempted misdemeanor theft appeared in custody before Pawnee County District Judge Bruce Gatterman Thursday afternoon for a probation revocation hearing, according to County Attorney Doug McNett.

Thomas L. Robison, 21, is accused of forging stolen checks to purchase lottery tickets from Pawnee County businesses in late May. He was on felony probation at the time of the alleged new crimes.

 Judge Gatterman revoked the defendant’s probation and remanded him to the custody of the Kansas Department of Corrections (KDOC) to serve the remainder of his underlying sentences.

Robison was convicted in 2017 of two separate cases of burglary of a motor vehicle and in 2019 of burglary of the Subway and State Theater in Larned. All sentences run consecutive for a total underlying sentence of 38 months with KDOC, according to McNett.
