(KAIR)--A second arrest is made in connection with a Sunday night road rage incident, in Atchison, that sent two to the hospital.
Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson told MSC News 19-year-old Jonathan Collins, of Atchison, was taken into custody Tuesday.
Booked into the Atchison County Jail following his arrest, Collins is facing charges including aggravated battery, battery, assault, five counts of criminal damage to property, and possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.
He's held on a bond of $15,000.
Arrested shortly after the incident was 59-year-old Anthony Brayshaw, of Atchison, who's held in the Atchison County Jail on a bond of $20,000.
Police say he threatened Collins with a small machete as the two drivers stood outside their vehicles in the area of U.S. Highway 59 and 14th Street.
According to Wilson, Collins grabbed the machete; but, despite the injuries he suffered, he and Brayshaw returned to their vehicles, which later crashed in the area of Harper Drive and Fairway Drive, near the Bellevue Country Club. “Both vehicles left the roadway, did some damage on the grounds of the golf course. Also damaged some nearby residences as far as some terrain and mailboxes were struck. Both vehicles, because of colliding with each other, became disabled in that area. Officers arrived on the scene with the two still there.”
Both drivers were taken for hospitalized treatment after the crash. Brayshaw was quickly released while Collins was held due to the extent of his injuries, apparently primarily stemming from the machete.
Riding with Collins at the time of the road rage pursuit turned wreck was a younger teen passenger, which led to a charge of aggravated endangering a child for Brayshaw. “Because of the reckless driving done by both vehicles, it put her in danger, Wilson said.”
The chase between the two vehicles began around 9:00 Sunday night.
