(KAIR)--An Atchison man and convicted felon faces charges in connection with a theft from a business and weapon possession.

A release from Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson explains that on Saturday afternoon, shortly after 4:00, “officers responded to the AT&T Store at 806 U.S. [Highway] 59 to investigate a theft.”

According to Wilson, investigators found 46-year-old Landon Bain in a vehicle outside the store. He was taken into custody on charges for theft and criminal possession of a weapon.
The release notes that the theft had just occurred, prior to the arrival of officers, and Bain, allegedly in possession of a handgun recovered by police, is a convicted felon, leading to that related charge.

Following his arrest, Bain was booked into the Atchison County Jail.
