(KAIR)--Suspected damage to an Atchison County shed leads investigators to an Atchison man, who ends up in jail after he's arrested on meth related charges.

According to Sheriff Jack Laurie, 45-year-old Jason Thomas was arrested after his vehicle was located in the 1900 block of Pine Street, in Atchison, Monday afternoon.

The search for the vehicle began after the Sheriff's Office received a report that someone was using a hammer in an apparent attempt to damage a shed, located at 4026 U.S. Highway 59.

Although Laurie says the owner of the property will not press charges, Thomas, when located, was found to be in possession of what authorities say was methamphetamine. He was taken into custody on related charges, and booked into the Atchison County Jail.
