Wine bottle college thefts lead to arrest

(KAIR)--An Atchison man is facing charges in connection with a burglary on the campus of Atchison's Benedictine College.

According to a release from Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, 22-year-old Matthew Hockel was arrested Wednesday afternoon, on the college campus, and taken into custody for burglary and theft.

Hockel's arrest follows an investigation Wednesday, by police and college security, focused on the theft of wine bottles from Ferrell Hall.

Wilson says investigators determined the theft occurred around 2:00 Sunday morning, with the investigation, still ongoing, leading to the arrest of Hockel.

Once he was in custody Wednesday afternoon, Hockel was booked into the Atchison County Jail.
