Drug Charges Send One To Jail

(KAIR)--One of two Atchison men, deemed armed and dangerous by Jackson County authorities during a fugitive search late last year, is back in jail, arrested on drug related charges in Atchison County Saturday.

Chad Gorrell, Junior was taken into custody on charges of driving while suspended, possession of a controlled substance, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie says the 23-year-old was stopped by a Deputy for a traffic violoation on River Road, in rural Atchison County.

Laurie says the drugs, including prescription medication, were discovered in the vehicle.

Gorrell was booked into the Atchison County Jail following his arrest.

In November, Gorrell, and his father, became the subjects of a Jackson County manhunt in connection with burglaries in that county.

They were arrested after they were found hiding in a Topeka residence.
