(KAIR)--A rural Effingham resident is facing drug charges, and three others face various charges, following the serving of a warrant this week.
Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie says a Deputy, seeking the whereabouts of 58-year-old Glen Ballard, responded to a residence at 4771 Highway 116 Sunday afternoon.
Ballard was located, and was found to be possessing a handgun, along with a glass pipe that authorities allege was used to smoke methamphetamine.
Ballard was taken into custody on charges of possession of meth, possession of drug paraphernalia, and interference with law enforcement, because Ballard attempted to flee.
Following his arrest, Ballard was booked into the Atchison County Jail.
Three others who were at the residence were found to be wanted on warrants, primarily for failure to appear in court.
