An Atchison driver faces drug charges, while a passenger goes to jail for the possession of a stolen handgun.
Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson says the case unfolded on Saturday. “Shortly after 2 PM on Saturday afternoon, an officer stops a vehicle for traffic violations in the 1400 block of Main,” Wilson tells MSC News. “A 23-year-old man was charged with a number of traffic offenses as well as several misdemeanor drug charges. And then a 26-year-old passenger was charged with possession of stolen property, specifically a stolen handgun.”
Wilson says the handgun, allegedly in the possession of Macy White, was reported stolen in 2012 from Cole Camp, Missouri.
The driver, identified as Christopher Edwards, was arrested in connection with the possession of a hallucinogenic drug, possession of drug paraphernalia, transporting an open container, no proof of insurance and expired tag. He additionally faces charges in connection with failure to appear in Municipal Court.
Both White and Edwards were booked into the Atchison County Jail following their arrests.
