(KAIR)--An Atchison man, wanted on a Shawnee County, KS District Court warrant, is now in custody, courtesy of the United States' Marshals Service and the Atchison Police Department.

That's according to a release from Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, which states that 33-year-old Ta'vion D. Jordan was arrested by the two agencies Thursday afternoon in the 500 block of Kansas Avenue, taken into custody on the warrant charging him with aggravated assault and aggravated battery.

On Thursday night, Wilson says another Atchison man, 36-year-old Joshua Morgan, was arrested in a separate case, taken into custody for burglary, attempted theft, and criminal damage to property stemming from police responding that evening to a home, located in the 1100 block of South 7th Street, after receiving a report that an unwanted person was there.

When they arrived, police were told by the resident the unwanted man who was known to him, now alleged to be Morgan, was at the back of the residence when he came home that evening around 6:20.

Police determined that entry had been made into the residence, where it's alleged that Morgan was found hiding inside a closet following a police search.

Morgan was taken into custody then, like Jordan, booked into the Atchison County Jail.
