HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A man staying at a Hutchinson motel was arrested after he is said to have robbed a Papa John's delivery driver Sunday night.

Twenty-two-year-old Damien Daron Devine was booked into jail on suspicion of aggravated robbery and drug offenses after a 25-year-old female driver from Papa John's reported to the police just after 11:30 p.m. that she had tried to deliver pizzas to a location in town that didn't exist, then was called to go to the parking lot at the Hampton Inn just east of 11th and K-61 to deliver the pizzas.

A man, later identified as Devine, flagged the delivery driver down, displayed a handgun and stole the pizzas and cash the delivery person was carrying.

A search warrant was executed for Devine's car and room and evidence was found for grounds for the aggravated robbery arrest, as well as a small amount of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.
