(KAIR)--Methamphetamine leads to several Atchison area arrests in unrelated cases in recent days.
That includes the arrest Saturday of a 23-year-old Atchison man in connection with meth possession.
According to the Atchison County Sheriff's Office, Trevor Kiehl, in March of last year, was arrested during a traffic stop for driving while suspended. At the time of his apprehension, a deputy found what appeared to be a pipe containing a substance believed to be meth.
Kiehl was released, and the pipe was tested, with lab results later indicating that meth had been used in the pipe.
A warrant was issued for Kiehl's arrest, and he was located, and apprehended, on Saturday.
On Friday, Sheriff Jack Laurie says another meth related arrest was made, landing 57-year-old Randy Johnston behind bars.
Johnston, of Atchison, was taken into custody for possession of meth, possession of marijuana, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Laurie says the arrest happened in the 900 block of north 5th Street when deputies found the alleged drugs while seeking suspects at the residence wanted in an unrelated case.
Atchison Police Friday also made a meth related arrest, with 54-year-old Atchison resident David Behler taken into custody. Police Chief Mike Wilson says the arrest was made following a traffic stop, around 10:30 Friday night, in the 100 block of South 6th Street.
Along with meth, police also arrested him for possession of a hallucinogenic drug and possession of drug paraphernalia. Additionally, Behler is accused of driving while suspended and interference with a law enforcement officer. Wilson says that charge stems from Behler allegedly attempting to swallow some of the drugs to keep officers from finding them.
