The Kokomo Tribune reports the Indiana Court of Appeals last week decided there was enough probable cause to get a search warrant for the DNA of 32-year-old Lance Pruitt of Kokomo even though the only description of the suspect that officers had was of a "tall, thin, black man."
Pruitt was sentenced to 32 to years in prison in January after being convicted by a jury of robbing BMO Harris Bank in Kokomo on Oct. 24, 2014, and Jan. 11, 2016. Police got a tip after the second robbery from a woman who said a co-worker was bragging about knowing the robbers.
