(KAIR)--An Atchison man will spend more than 25-years behind bars, sentenced in Atchison County District Court in two separate cases.
According to a release from Atchison County Attorney Sherri Becker, Marcel Bailey pled to the two different cases, one being an August, 2018 armed home invasion, committed with two other men. According to Becker, he pled guilty, in that case, to aggravated robbery, kidnapping, and aggravated burglary.
The residents inside the home at the time of the invasion included a husband and wife, and three children, aged 5,13, and 15, at that time.
The arrest of Bailey, and his cohorts, followed an investigation by the Atchison County Sheriff’s Office.
The second case involved Bailey shooting at an occupied vehicle in September, 2018.
In that case, Becker says Bailey pled guilty to criminal discharge of a firearm at an occupied vehicle, aggravated assault, and aggravated battery.
His arrest followed an investigation by the Atchison Police Department.
