Robin F. Hood – an Atlanta, Kan. man accused of planting explosives in a woman’s camper this summer – has a new lawyer.
Wichita attorney Chrystal Krier will now represent Hood. She replaces Chad Giles and Mike Brown, who requested and were given permission by the court to withdraw from the case.
Hood, 47, is scheduled to be back in court at 8:30 a.m. Nov. 27 with Krier. Bond for Hood is set at $100,000 and he remains in the Cowley County Jail.
In August, the Winfield Police Department was contacted by someone camping at the Winfield Fairgrounds who had located suspicious items in her camper.
Upon investigation by Winfield Police Officers the suspicious items were confirmed to be a possible safety hazard.
The immediate area of the camper was secured and technicians with the Kansas Highway Patrol and the Wichita Police Bomb Squad were contacted to evaluate the found items.
The items were located in the camper and made safe.
The Cowley County Sheriff’s Office along with the Winfield Police Department also searched Hood’s residence near Atlanta.
The investigation led to Hood’s arrest on charges of attempted first degree murder, attempted aggravated arson and criminal use of an explosive.
