(KAIR)--An Atchison man is jailed in connection with an October stabbing that sent another man to the hospital.
According to a release from Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, 52-year-old David Barber was arrested Saturday on an Atchison County District Court warrant for aggravated battery related to the October 9 stabbing of a 31-year-old man at a residence in the 500 block of South 6th Street. According to Wilson, it was determined by investigators that the stabbing happened at that location during an argument between the pair, with Barber fleeing the scene after he allegedly committed the crime.
The victim required hospital treatment and was transported to a Saint Joseph, Missouri hospital by Atchison County EMS.
During his Saturday afternoon arrest in connection with the stabbing, Barber earned additional charges, with police alleging that at the time of his arrest, in the 300 block of Atchison’s Santa Fe Street, Barber was found to be in possession of methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia. He was additionally arrested on related charges.
Once in custody, Barber was booked into the Atchison County Jail.
His bond is set at $30,000.
