(KAIR)--An Atchison man is facing multiple charges following an alleged confrontation with police Wednesday evening.

According to a release from Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, 51-year-old Bobby Glaspie was arrested in the 400 block of R Street on charges of reckless driving, assault on a law enforcement officer, and battery on a law enforcement officer. 

Wilson says an officer was conducting a traffic stop in the 1600 block of South 6th Street just after 6:00 Wednesday evening when Glaspie, identified as a family member of the stopped driver, arrived at the scene. A short time later, Glaspie left the area, allegedly driving recklessly.

Around 45-minutes later, officers went to Glaspie’s R Street residence regarding the reckless driving; and, according to Wilson, Glaspie emerged from the home allegedly acting aggressively toward the responding officers. 

Once in custody, Glaspie was booked into the Atchison County Jail.
