Weekend domestics hold two in Atchison Co

(KAIR)--A Lancaster man is facing charges following his weekend arrest stemming from a reported domestic disturbance involving a firearm.

According to a release from Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie, his department received the report around 11:00 Saturday morning, leading them to respond to the Lancaster residence, located in the 100 block of Kansas Avenue, where the scene was secured.

Investigators, Laurie said, secured the scene then "applied for and were granted a search warrant for the [residence]" where they allegedly "recovered a firearm and ammunition, a large amount of marijuana, prescription drugs and other items of evidence."

Following the search, 29-year-old Chase Chapman was arrested for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, criminal possession of a firearm by a prohibited person, possession of marijuana, and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Once in custody, Chapman was booked into the Atchison County Jail.

In a separate case, an Atchison man found himself jailed early Monday morning following what Laurie says was his office's response "to a past domestic disturbance in the 500 block of 8th Street, in Effingham," with Laurie noting that the report of the incident included a vehicle description of a man who had left the residence.

A search by deputies led to the discovery of the vehicle on 286th Road, near Hamilton Road, where they attempted to stop the car. Instead, it's alleged the driver, now identified as 50-year-old Jeremy Campbell, turned the vehicle onto the railroad tracks, where it became disabled. It's alleged that instead of surrendering to deputies, Campbell fled on foot, but was located by deputies a short time later, and placed under arrest.
He faces charges for fleeing and attempting to elude, interference with a law enforcement officer, reckless driving, and other traffic related charges.

Once in custody, Campbell was booked into the Atchison County Jail.
