(KAIR)--An Atchison man, wanted since 2014 on child sex-related crimes, is now in custody.

That- according to a release from Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, who says the now 40-year-old Austin Kau was investigated in December, 2014 in connection with a child victim under the age of 14. However, Kau, during the investigation, was taken into custody in Buchanan County, Missouri on an unrelated Missouri case.

Since that time, Wilson says, Kau has remained in the custody of the Missouri Department of Corrections until his release this week to the Atchison County Jail.

Kau, Wednesday, was arrested on an Atchison County District Court warrant charging him with aggravated criminal sodomy.

The warrant had been filed in February, 2015.

In a separate case, an Atchison man is arrested in connection with an October domestic disturbance that sent a woman to the hospital.

According to a release from Police Chief Wilson, 27-year-old Zachary Elmore was arrested Wednesday on an Atchison County District Court warrant charging him with aggravated battery and criminal damage to property.

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

According to Wilson, police were called to the 1000 block of Riley Street during the early morning of October 24. It was from that location that a 44-year-old woman was transported by Atchison County EMS for hospital treatment, as the result of Elmore- alleged crimes.
