(KAIR)--An Atchison woman, convicted in 2014 for drug-related charges, leading to her required registration as a drug offender, is back in custody.
According to a release from Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, 33-year-old Marissa Vanwey, on Monday, was arrested on an Atchison County District Court warrant charging her with aggravated violation of the Kansas Offender Registration Act.
The Kansas Bureau of Investigation-maintained Kansas offender website lists Vanwey as being non-compliant with required reporting.
The Kansas offender website indicates that Vanwey, in 2014, was convicted for drug distribution.
Along with her conviction, online records show Vanwey as a repeat offender, primarily for shoplifting charges.
Wilson says along with the District Court warrant, Vanwey was also taken into custody on a Municipal Court warrant for failure to appear.
Following her arrest, Vanwey was booked into the Atchison County Jail.
For her alleged violation of registration act requirements, Vanwey is held on a $30,000 cash or surety bond.
