(KAIR)--Two court warrant arrests during the midnight hour Thursday leads to additional drug related charges for an Atchison man.
Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson says officers were called to an Atchison convenience store where the two offenders were spotted; and, he says it was when 34-year-old Jason Billings was arrested, the drugs were found. “Officers responded to a convenience store at 17th and Main,” Wilson tells MSC News. “When Billings was taken into custody, methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia was found on his person.”
Billings was originally wanted on Municipal Court warrants for failure to appear, and now faces charges for the possession of methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia. He was booked into the Atchison County Jail.
Also arrested was 22-year-old Alyssa Powell, with the Atchison resident wanted on a Municipal Court warrant for failure to appear. She was also taken to jail.
