SEDGWICK COUNTY —Law enforcement authorities are investigating an armed robbery and have a suspect in custody.
Just before 10 p.m. Sunday, police responded to a report of a highway robbery at the Pizza Hut in the 300 block of East 47th Street in Wichita, according to officer Charley Davidson.
Upon arrival, officers contacted a 45-year-old male delivery driver who reported being robbed at gunpoint while delivering a pizza.
The investigation revealed that the 45-year-old went to deliver an order at an apartment complex in the 4100 block of South Seneca. The driver was unable to contact anyone at the apartment. As he was walking back to his vehicle, he was approached by a suspect later identified as 20-year-old Jeramiah Milligan of Wichita who asked to buy the order.
The driver refused, and Milligan produced a handgun and demanded money and the pizza order from the driver. The driver left the order on the ground and drove away in his vehicle back to the restaurant to call police.
Officers spotted Milligan at a nearby apartment in the 4100 Block of South Seneca and arrested him without incident. Officers later recovered the pizza order as well as a handgun. Milligan was booked on requested charges that include aggravated robbery.
The case will be presented to the Sedgwick County District Attorney’s Office. Milligan remains jailed on a $75,000 bond.
