(KAIR)--An Atchison man is going to prison, sentenced this week in Atchison County District Court, for a violent Atchison robbery that left the victim hospitalized.

According to a release from Atchison County Attorney Sherri Becker, Landen Williams was sentenced to 3-years-5-months of incarceration” for, as the release puts it, "his participation in the crimes of robbery and aggravated battery." He plead guilty to those charges in May. Additionally, it was the decision of the judge to revoke Williams' probation for a theft and firearm case and instead imposed the underlying 6-month sentence to be served consecutive to the latest case.

It was, the release says, on July 7, 2021, that the Atchison Police Department "took a report that a person was beaten up and money was stolen from his wallet" while he was at home. The man was transferred to the University of Kansas Hospital for treatment of his injuries, which included a broken nose. The following investigation led police to the arrest of Williams.
