Evansville Police are looking into the possibility that the suspect in a home invasion robbery on Adams Ave this week was also involved in a home invasion robbery on S. Linwood Ave on February 3rd, 2013.
Earlier this week, Dennis Anderson forced his way into a home in the 500 block of Adams after asking the resident for some water. He assaulted the 80 year old homeowner and demanded money. The resident was able get his handgun and shoot Anderson. Anderson fled, but arrived at Deaconess Hospital a short time later to get treatment for a gunshot wound to the abdomen.
In the February case, a 72 year old woman was robbed by a man police believe to be Anderson. The victim told officers a man had knocked on her door and asked for water. The man forced his way in and assaulted her. He then stole her wallet and ran from the house.
Anderson is still in the hospital. His condition is not available. Anderson will be arrested as soon as he is medically able to be housed at the jail.
