(KAIR)--An altercation, alleged to have begun over a stolen cellphone, turns violent, and police say that's why an Atchison man went to jail Saturday morning. "Officers were dispatched to a residence in the 400 block of Atchison Street, concerning a disturbance,” Atchison Police Captain Tim Stout told MSC News. “During the investigation, they were advised that Keith Allen had taken a phone from the victim, who is an acquaintance of Allen's. During this time, they were advised that Allen had struck the victim with the phone and then started choking her."
Stout said the 43-year-old Allen had already left the scene of the alleged attack by the time police arrived. "They end locating Allen a short distance away in the 400 block of North 5th Street."
Allen was arrested on charges including aggravated domestic violence and theft. Following his apprehension, Allen was booked into the Atchison County Jail, where he's held on a $15,000 bond.
According to Stout, the victim suffered no injuries requiring medical treatment.
