An Atchison man goes to jail after allegedly forcing his way inside an Atchison home while the residents were inside. 

Police Chief Mike Wilson tells MSC News 19-year-old Jarvis Grace was arrested in connection with the crime on Wednesday.

Wilson says the forced entry happened at 5:30 a.m. Sunday morning in the 100 block of Atchison Street.

“Apparently it was random,” Wilson said. “There was a husband and wife inside the residence. They heard the noise of entry being made through a damaged door and alerted police to the area.”

Jarvis now faces charges of aggravated burglary and theft. 

Following his apprehension Wednesday, he was booked into the Atchison County Jail.
