(KAIR)--An arrest for failure to appear lands one behind bars on drug charges.

Atchison Police Lieutenant Tim Stout says it was Saturday at around 4:00 in the afternoon when officers arrested 28-year-old Leavenworth resident Nicholas Harding for failure to appear in court.

“During the arrest, it was discovered Harding was in possession of syringe and methamphetamine,” Stout said.

Harding was booked into the Atchison County Jail where he remains without bond at this time.
