Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson told MSC News the car, reported stolen in Lansing, was stopped early Wednesday morning. "Shortly after midnight on Wednesday morning, we had an officer check on a suspicious vehicle that stopped near a downtown business. It was determined that the 2001 Pontiac Grand Am had been stolen reported stolen in Lansing sometime the past weekend. The driver, and two occupants, were taken into custody following the traffic stop in the 500 block of South U.S. 73."

18-year-old Sidney Darrenkamp, 23-year-old Darius Fleming, and 30-year-old Kylee Walker, all of Atchison, were taken into custody for theft of a vehicle.
