(KAIR)--An Atchison man, early this week, was arrested on a number of warrants, including one from Atchison County for alleged crimes in February, as well as other warrants from the area, including Jackson and Leavenworth counties.

According to a release from Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, 45-year-old Cory Wabski, shortly after midnight Monday, was arrested in the 100 block of South 5th Street on an Atchison County District Court warrant for fleeing and attempting to elude, driving while suspended, reckless driving, and other traffic charges. Wilson, in the release, explains that the warrant stemmed from an early morning, February 20 attempt by an Atchison Police Officer on patrol “to stop a Pontiac sedan in the 800 block of Spring Street that was being driven by Wabski. Instead of stopping, it's alleged Wabski fled from the officer into Missouri.

Along with the initial warrant, Wabski was also arrested on an Atchison County District Court warrant for failure to appear in court, along with warrants, also for failure to appear, from Leavenworth County District Court, Jackson County District Court, and the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation District Court.

Additionally, Wabski is facing charges in connection with a traffic accident he was allegedly involved with on May 11. According to Wilson, it's alleged that Wabski was behind the wheel of a vehicle that left the roadway and struck a guide wire to a utility pole in the 1000 block of U Street. For that, Wabski was cited for leaving the scene, driving while suspended, and driving left of center.

Following his arrest this week, Wabski was booked into the Atchison County Jail.
