(KAIR)--A reported weekend Atchison County disturbance led to a response from Sheriff's Deputies and to one arrest, with an Atchison man now facing charges, including alleged drug possession. 

According to a release from Sheriff Jack Laurie, deputies, around 5:30 on the evening of July 4th, responded to Sherman Road where the disturbance and possible battery was reported to have occurred. 

Deputies, upon arrival, were told by a 38-year-old Atchison woman that she had been the victim of an altercation, allegedly involving Richard Dean Burge II, while they drove south on Sherman Road.

The investigation led deputies to arrest Burge for domestic battery, as well as possession of suspected methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia.
