(KAIR)--An Atchison woman has been arrested on a District Court warrant following an investigation into financial crimes.

According to a release from Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, 35-year-old Amber Mierkey was arrested Wednesday on the warrant which charges her with computer crime, criminal use of a financial card, and theft.
Wilson explains in the release that the charges stem from a May, 2022 case when it's alleged that information from a financial card belonging to a 31-year-old St. Joseph, Missouri resident was used criminally to make five separate purchases at an Atchison retail store.
The total taken through the alleged, unauthorized use of the financial information was, Wilson says, $169.50.
Once she was in custody, Mierkey was transported and booked into the Atchison County Jail.
She has since been released on a $15,000 bond.
