Chase Bryant and Nathanael Nicholson
(KAIR)--A raid conducted at an Atchison residence nets more than 3 pounds of marijuana, along with firearms and ammunition.
That word from Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie, who says the execution of a search warrant at 122 North 2nd Street Thursday night led to the arrests of 22-year-old Chase Bryant and 23-year-old Nathanael Nicholson. "We've had some complaints from neighbors...about the activity that was going on there. We were able to make a few purchases out of there over the last few months, and do some more surveillance on it, and try to figure out what was really going on in there. The house had actually been shot up, and reported to the police, so that was concerning as well."
Assisted by the Atchison Police Department's Special Response Team, Laurie says Bryant and Nicholson surrendered their weapons when authorities entered the home around 11:30 Thursday night.
Once the suspects were in custody, a search of the residence was made, and that's when the alleged 3 ½ pounds of marijuana was seized, along with liquid THC, paraphernalia used for packaging, distributing, and smoking, and more than $800 in cash.

Laurie says a large quantity of ammunition was also located, along with the legal weapons. "There were three handguns and also an AK-47. They weren't necessarily breaking any laws with the guns, as far as having them in the home, [but it's] a safety issue for everybody else when they're dealing narcotics out of the residence."
Bryant and Nicholson both face charges of distribution of marijuana, possession of hallucinogenic drug, possession of drug paraphernalia used to distribute marijuana, & no drug tax stamp for marijuana.
Following their arrests, the pair was booked into the Atchison County Jail.
A woman, who did not live at the residence, was detained during the raid, but released without charge.
