Atchison Police Lieutenant Tim Stout says it was 4:30 Thursday afternoon when officers were dispatched to a residence in the 600 block of South Sixth Street regarding an argument involving a hand gun.
“On arrival officers met with a 38-year-old male subject who advised he had been struck with a shovel and threatened with a handgun,” Stout said. “Upon further investigation, officers arrested 41-year-old Dedrick Haley for aggravated battery and aggravated assault.”
