(KAIR)--A wanted man is located at an Atchison motel; but, according to police, he didn't come quietly, and that led to numerous charges for the Easton resident.

Police Chief Mike Wilson says officers located 30-year-old Billy Reed Jr. around 3:00 Sunday morning in the 400 block of South 10th Street. “He was wanted on a number of outstanding warrants in Leavenworth and Atchison,” Wilson told MSC News. “It was determined that he and a 32-year-old female, from Leavenworth, were at the motel.”

Among the charges faced by Reed is battery on a law enforcement officer. “Once officers were able to get into the room, there was a struggle and we did have one officer that had minor injuries.”

Reed was also taken into custody on the charge of criminal restraint, which Wilson says comes in connection with the allegation that Reed would not allow his acquaintance to let police enter the motel room. “When officers were attempting to locate him and get into the room, there was some difficulty getting that done, and it was determined that while he was inside the room, he was preventing the 32-year-old female from letting the officers in, and assisting the officers.”

Reed additionally faces charges of obstructing legal process and criminal damage to property, along with the warrants that originally led to the search for his whereabouts.
