(KAIR)--An alleged attempt to force his way into a woman's home lands an Atchison man in jail,

and he now faces charges for both the attempt as well as for drug related crimes.

Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson tells MSC News 25-year-old Andre Harris allegedly tried to gain entry into the residence shortly before 10:00 Sunday night. “The officers responded to a call in the 1200 block of North 5th,” Wilson says. “There, a 22-year-old female reported that an acquaintance was knocking on her door. Eventually, he forced the door open. Officers arrived about that point, he fled on foot, a short pursuit, and he was apprehended several blocks away.”

Wilson says it once Harris was in custody that the alleged drugs were discovered. “When he was taken into custody, marijuana and drug paraphernalia was found on his person.”

Harris was arrested on charges of criminal damage to property, obstructing legal process, possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, and drug paraphernalia.

He was booked into the Atchison County Jail.
