We had a 56-year-old male that was taken into custody at a residence there after a 32-year-old female reported being threatened with a screwdriver, and also during the disturbance was choked.”

Thomas now faces charges for aggravated assault and aggravated domestic battery.

Following his arrest, Thomas was booked into the Atchison County Jail.

His bond is set at $10,000.
