(KAIR)--Two Atchison men, both wanted on active failure to appear in court warrants, now face methamphetamine-related drug charges following their arrests Sunday.

Taken into custody in the 400 block of U.S. Highway 59 was Weston Anderson, who was spotted in a parking lot by an Atchison Police Officer who knew he was wanted.

According to a release from Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, the officer approached Anderson, who allegedly fled on foot, but was stopped after a brief police pursuit and arrested on charges of possession of methamphetamine, marijuana, and drug paraphernalia, interference with law enforcement, and the Municipal Court warrant.

Also arrested Sunday, in the same location, was 44-year-old Matthew Davis, who was, according to Wilson, observed by an officer on patrol who knew he was wanted.

He was taken into custody for possession of methamphetamine which, like Anderson, was allegedly found on his person, along with possession of drug paraphernalia, and the Municipal Court warrant.

Following their arrests, Anderson and Davis were each booked into the Atchison County Jail.
