(KAIR)--An Atchison failure to appear arrest leads to drug charges for an Atchison man wanted on the Municipal Court warrant.

According to Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, 59-year-old Gregory Winfield, Saturday afternoon, March 1, around 4:45, was spotted in the 500 block of South 6th Street by an officer on patrol. Knowing that Winfield was wanted on the warrant, the officer arrested him.

It was while Winfield was being taken into custody, Wilson says, that methamphetamine was allegedly found on his person, leading to a related charge.

Once he was in custody, Winfield was booked into the Atchison County Jail for failure to appear in court and possession of methamphetamine.

Another failure to appear arrest-turned drug possession charges happened days later, on Wednesday, March 5, as another Atchison man, wanted for failing to appear in Atchison Municipal Court, now faces additional charges after allegedly attempting to run from arresting police officers.

Wilson, in a release, says 31-year-old Trevor Kiehl, shortly after 10:00 Wednesday night, was spotted by an officer on patrol, walking in the 900 block of Unity Street.

The officer, Wilson says, stopped to attempt to apprehend Kiehl on the warrant, but Kiehl instead allegedly ran, leading to a brief foot pursuit that ended in the 900 block of North 9th Street, where police located Kiehl.

Once Kiehl was in custody, Wilson says he was found to be in possession of what police allege was methamphetamine, marijuana, and drug paraphernalia.

Kiehl was booked into the Atchison County Jail for charges including the failure to appear warrant, possession of the drugs and paraphernalia, and interference with law enforcement due to his alleged attempt to flee.
