Parolee arrested in Dec. 30 robbery at downtown Wichita QuikTrip
Wichita police say they’ve arrested a Kansas parolee for robbing the QuikTrip on Douglas and Washington on Dec. 30.
Officer Charley Davidson said police found 28-year-old Donald Lybarger of Wichita on Wednesday in the 3600 block of East Harry. He was booked into the Sedgwick County Jail on suspicion of aggravated robbery in the Dec. 30 gas station holdup and on a Kansas Department of Corrections warrant connected to an offender registration violation case, records show. He had no bond listed in online jail records Thursday afternoon.
Davidson in a news release said police learned of Lybarger’s involvement in the QuikTrip robbery during their investigation. A QuikTrip employee told officers who responded to an armed robbery call at the 1010 E. Douglas store on Dec. 30 that Lybarger had walked in, handed him a threatening note demanding cash from the register then fled after getting money, the release said. No one was hurt.
Police plan to present the case to the Sedgwick County District Attorney’s Office for prosecution, Davidson said. Lybarger had not been formally charged as of Thursday.
Court records show Lybarger’s offender registration case stems from an apparent failure to register with the Sheriff’s Office within three days of coming to Sedgwick County in 2018. A misdemeanor conviction in a 2012 sex crimes case out of Larimer County, Colorado, led to the registration requirement, according to court records.
