(KAIR)--An Atchison man is facing sex-related charges following his Thursday evening arrest

in connection with what police say began as a domestic battery case at his north side residence.

Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson tells MSC News the alleged crimes occurred on Harper Drive, and led to the arrest of Michael Brockett. “On Thursday evening, our officers investigated a domestic disturbance that had occurred at a residence in the 1900 block of Harper Drive. A 51-year-old female had been a victim of domestic battery and aggravated sexual battery. A 44-year-old suspect had fled the area but was located a short time later and taken into custody.”

Brockett, following his arrest, was booked into the Atchison County Jail on charges of domestic battery and sexual battery.

Wilson says the victim and Brockett lived together at the residence.
