(KAIR)--An arrest is made in connection with an Atchison burglary committed while the resident was inside the home.
Taken into custody Thursday in connection with Wednesday's burglary is Darius Fleming, a 28-year-old Atchison resident who now faces charges for aggravated burglary and theft.
According to a release from Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, it's alleged that Fleming, Wednesday afternoon around 2:45, entered a residence in the 500 block of North 5th Street through a frong door, grabbed a Playstation gaming console, and then ran from the residence.
Wilson says that although the resident of the home was there at the time of Fleming's entry, the two never made contact.
An investigation was launched, and that led police to Fleming who was arrested Thursday morning, at 5th and Santa Fe, on a Kansas Department of Corrections detain order for parole violation. Later, he was charged with the aggravated burglary and theft.
Once in custody, Fleming was booked into the Atchison County Jail.
