(KAIR)--The serving of a district court warrant leads to the arrest of a Lansing man on drug charges.

Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson tells MSC News that 25-year old Austin L. Archer was taken into custody Friday for possession of methamphetamine. “Well it was at 2 p.m. on Friday, our officers went to a residence in the 1000 block of Riley to locate a 25-year-old male who was wanted on an outstanding district court warrant for failure to appear in court. The officers did locate the male and found him to be in possession of methamphetamine. So, he was taken into custody not only on the failure to appear warrant but (also) on new drug charges.”

Wilson describes the amount of meth found as being small, and says that Archer was arrested without any issues.

Archer was booked into the Atchison County jail, where he remains as of Monday  morning.
