(KAIR)--An Atchison man goes to jail after allegedly striking another man multiple times with a hammer.
“Shortly after 7:00 pm on Wednesday evening our officers responded to a disturbance called in the 2000 block of Birch Street,” said Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson. “A 50-year-old male who resided in the residence had been struck in the head, arm and leg with a hammer by a 40-year-old male who also resided at the residence. A television, table and wall were also damaged during this disturbance.”
He said 40-year-old Andre Green was arrested on charges of aggravated battery and criminal damage to property in connection with the incident.
“We know that there had been a verbal dispute in the residence that led to this criminal damage occurring when this hammer was used to damage this property within the house,” Wilson said. “That was subsequently followed by 40-year-old striking the 50-year-old about his body with the hammer.”
The 50-year-old victim did not seek treatment for his injuries.
Green was booked into the Atchison County Jail where he remains held without bond.
