(KAIR)--A registered sex offender is jailed in Atchison County, arrested Monday for alleged crimes committed in Atchison as well as in connection with a warrant issued by Leavenworth County.

According to a report from the Atchison Police Department, 26-year-old Wesley X. Jackson was arrested in the 1200 block of North 5th for criminal damage to property and obstructing legal process.

Additionally, he was taken into custody on a Leavenworth County warrant for aggravated criminal sodomy.

Following his arrest, Jackson was booked into the Atchison County Jail.

Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson tells MSC News his office was contacted by Leaveworth County authorities regarding the whereabouts of Jackson. Wilson says he was located at an apartment complex in the 1200 block of North Fifth in Atchison where he allegedly attempted to tell police he was not who they were looking for.

As part of his conviction, Jackson was required to register as a sex offender in the state of Kansas.
