48-year-old Thad Jenkins

(KAIR)--A verbal altercation turns physical, and that leads to a trip to the Atchison Hospital for one Atchison man, while another goes to jail.

Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie tells MSC News 48-year-old Thad Jenkins was arrested following the fight that left a 47-year-old man injured.

“Deputies were called to the hospital for a past fight that occurred out on Sheridan,” Laurie said. “They spoke to a gentleman there who had received quite a few cuts and bruises and a separated shoulder. There weren't any weapons involved in this altercation, but he received pretty extensive injuries.”

Laurie says the victim was transported for treatment by private vehicle, while Jenkins left the scene of the Wednesday night fight.

“We were able to locate him at his residence on Sheridan Road, just down the road from where the altercation took place,” Laurie said. “They were acquaintances and had gotten involved in a verbal altercation at first, and it just escalated from there.”

Once he was located, Laurie says Jenkins was taken into custody on a charge of aggravated battery.

Following his arrest, Jenkins was booked into the Atchison County Jail.
