(KAIR)--Two separate cases of court warrant arrests leave two men facing additional drug related charges following their arrests as they walked on Atchison streets in recent days.
Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, in a release, says the first arrest was made early Friday evening when an officer on patrol spotted Jeremiah Mullins on foot in the area of 9th and Unity streets.
Knowing he was wanted on a Municipal Court warrant for failure to appear in court, the officer stopped Mullins and took him into custody for the warrant. However, Wilson says it- alleged that when arrested, Mullins was in possession of methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia, with the 21-year-old Atchison resident now facing those charges.
The second arrest came at 12 noon Sunday when James Myers, of Warrensburg, Missouri, was seen walking in the 300 block of Atchison's South 4th Street by an officer on patrol.
Wilson, saying the 37-year-old Myers was known to the officer for being wanted on a Municipal Court warrant for failure to appear, stopped him and took him into custody for that infraction.
However, Wilson says Myers was allegedly found to be in possession of methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia at the time of the arrest, with those charges now faced in court.
Both Mullins and Myers, following their individual arrests, were booked into the Atchison County Jail.
