06/16/2016

(KAIR)--An Atchison man, accused of drug and firearm-related crimes, will learn his fate next month. 

That follows an appearance in Atchison County District Court this week by 45-year-old Steven Bowen, who entered a guilty plea to his infractions. 

Bowen, charged with possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine, felon in possession of a firearm, and felony fleeing and eluding, will be sentenced July 11th. 

Bowen was arrested April 17th after he refused to stop for an Atchison County Sheriff's Deputy who attempted to pull him over for an alleged traffic infraction. 

Managing to elude the law, Bowen's vehicle was later found abandoned in the area of 318th and Pratt Roads. 

Investigators at the time said a small suitcase, filled with numerous drugs, drug paraphernalia, and a firearm, was found in a nearby ditch. 

Bowen was located and taken into custody.
