(KAIR)--An Atchison man is facing drug related charges after contacting police to report a possible burglary that investigators say never occurred.
That's according to Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson who, in a release, says police, on Thursday night, were called to an apartment complex, located in the 300 block of Santa Fe Street, to investigate a possible burglary.
Wilson, in the release, says "it was determined that no burglary had occurred but during the investigation the resident and reporting party [of the burglary]...was found to be in possession of methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia."
Wilson identifies the resident as 61-year-old Gary Odum, who was arrested shortly after 8:30 Thursday evening, at the apartment's location, for possession of the illegal items.
Following his arrest, Odum was booked into the Atchison County Jail.
