Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson says 31-year-old Alyssa M. Zeltner of Atchison was arrested Friday afternoon in the 1200 block of North Fifth Street on a District Court warrant charging her with endangering a child. She was taken to the Atchison County Jail.
The arrest stems from the same investigation that led to the previous day's arrest of 31-year-old Terry Jones last Thursday, August 20.
Jones is facing charges of abuse of a child, aggravated assault and sexual battery.
Wilson says the investigation began August 14th after a report of child abuse involving a victim under the age of 10 was made to the Kansas Department for Children and Families.
Police subsequently identified two additional victims under the age of 18. According to Wilson, one victim was allegedly threatened with a knife, while another was allegedly the victim of sexual battery.
Police also served a search warrant at Jones' residence Thursday while looking for evidence.
The investigation remains ongoing.
