(KAIR)--A Leavenworth man arrested in connection with a September 5 drive-by shooting in Atchison is also facing charges in a late August armed home invasion near Atchison.

Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie says 19-year-old Marcell Bailey was arrested Tuesday evening in Topeka by the U.S. Marshal’s Service.

Laurie says Bailey was arrested on an Atchison County District Court warrant for aggravated robbery, aggravated kidnapping, aggravated battery, aggravated assault, aggravated burglary, felony theft and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon for his alleged role in the home invasion.

Two other suspects in the home invasion, 24-year-old Devan Newson and 27-year-old Brandon Williams, both of Atchison, were arrested last week.

Laurie says the trio entered a home at 7232 Elm Drive on August 29, armed with a pistol and knife, and demanded the victim’s safe. They fled after they acquired it.

Laurie said the cash in the safe was believed to be more than $500.

Bailey remains in the Atchison County Jail, held on a $500,000 bond.
