(KAIR)--An Atchison man is facing charges in connection with an unwelcome stay at a downtown Atchison location.

Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson told MSC News 48-year-old David Robertson was arrested Saturday. “Midday on Saturday, police officers were investigating an open door at a vacant building located at 526 Commercial, on the Mall, when it was determined that someone had been unlawfully staying inside the building,” Wilson said. “A short time later...Robertson was observed [by officers] entering the building, and he was taken into custody. We believe that he unlawfully had been entering that vacant building over recent days, and had actually been staying inside.”

Robertson faces charges for burglary, theft, criminal damage to property, and criminal trespass.
He was also arrested on an Atchison County District Court warrant for criminal use of a financial card and theft. Wilson, in a report, said those crimes are alleged to have occurred April 10.

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

His bond is set at $1,500.
