(KAIR)--A search warrant served on an Atchison residence led to one arrest, with an Atchison man now facing drug-related charges.

According to a release from Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie, the search warrant was served Wednesday in the 800 block of Kearney Street.

The search followed a Sheriff’s Office investigation that led to the allegation that methamphetamine was being sold from the residence.

When the search was conducted, Laurie said children were located inside the residence.

He said a distribution amount of methamphetamine was also located, along with a firearm and drug paraphernalia.

30-year-old Chris Studdard was taken into custody on charges for possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine within 1,000 feet of a school, aggravated child endangerment, criminal possession of a weapon by a convicted felon, no drug tax stamp, and possession with intent to distribute drug paraphernalia.

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

According to the Kansas Department of Corrections, Studdard was convicted of drug charges in 2015 and convicted for criminal possession of a weapon by a felon in 2016.
