(KAIR)--A weekend altercation at a downtown Atchison bar sent two to the hospital, including an Effingham man who later went to jail.
Arrested Monday on an Atchison County District Court Warrant was 23-year-old Zakkery Hollands.
He was taken into custody on the warrant charging him with aggravated battery and attempted battery.
Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson told MSC News the alleged crimes occurred late Saturday night/early Sunday morning at Mueller’s Lockeroom. “It was shortly after 12:30 a.m. on Saturday night when our officers responded to a disturbance in the 100 block of South 2nd. When officers arrived, they found several people injured, which included a 42-year-old female who was an employee of Mueller’s Lockeroom. A 23-year-old male had been escorted out of Mueller’s by several employees, which included the 42-year-old injured female, who suffered a broken arm after the suspect assaulted her.”
Wilson said Hollands’ injuries were incurred as bystanders intervened to protect the woman whose arm he allegedly broke. “After causing a disturbance inside the establishment, and being asked to leave, a large group then ended up outside, and when witnesses saw him assault the female employee, [they were] trying to protect her, and in turn, he was then injured.”
Along with police, Wilson said Atchison County EMS responded to the altercation, with Hollands and the injured woman both transported for hospital treatment. “We had several EMS units on the scene. The suspect was transported to the hospital, as was our victim...[who was] subsequently transported to a Topeka hospital and had to have surgery as her arm was broken.”
Following his arrest, Hollands was booked into the Atchison County Jail.
His bond is set at $50,000.
