Formal charges filed in Atchison aggravated battery incidents

(KAIR)--Formal charges have been filed in Atchison County District Court against a man wanted in connection with a reported aggravated burglary in the 300 block of Parallel Street in Atchison in the early morning hours of August 6th.

According to Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, the 30-year-old male suspect faces charges of aggravated burglary and aggravated battery stemming from the incident, which involved a 45-year-old victim.

Wilson says the victim was at home at the time and sustained injuries after being struck with an object that was in the intruder’s hand. The victim was treated and released from hospital care.

In addition to the August 6th incident, the same suspect faces aggravated battery and criminal restraint charges in connection with a July 23rd incident at the same residence.

 Wilson says police are still searching for the suspect, who is not from Atchison.

The name of the suspect is not being released at this time.
