(KAIR)--An Effingham man remained in custody as of Monday evening, facing charges tied to a disturbance that Atchison County authorities say involved an alleged assault with a handgun, an abduction, and a shot fired.

In a release, Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie said deputies responded early Saturday morning to the 700 block of William Street in Effingham for a disturbance, where it was alleged shots were fired in the area.

The sheriff’s office alleges 18-year-old Brayden Alexander struck a 17-year-old male multiple times with a handgun while forcing the juvenile at gunpoint to walk from the 600 block of 8th Street to a residence in the 700 block of William Street.

The release states that while outside the home, Alexander allegedly discharged the handgun in an unknown direction. A resident reportedly tackled Alexander, and the 17-year-old was able to secure the handgun. Deputies arrived shortly after and took Alexander into custody, according to Laurie.

Alexander was arrested for aggravated assault, aggravated battery, aggravated kidnapping, criminal discharge of a firearm, possession of a firearm while under the influence, and minor in possession or consumption of alcohol.

Once in custody, Alexander was booked into the Atchison County Jail. His bond is set at $50,000.

Laurie said the case remains under investigation.
