(KAIR)--Drug related crimes are added to the charges against the Horton High School Athletic Director arrested in Atchison last weekend for an alleged domestic altercation.
According to the Atchison County Attorney's Office, Travis George is now charged with possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia along with domestic battery, criminal damage to property, criminal restraint, and child endangerment.
Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson told MSC News earlier in the week, the 38-year-old George was arrested Saturday night. ““It was at 9:30 Saturday night when officers responded to a domestic disturbance in the 1700 block of Bluebird Court. There, we found a 32-year-old victim had reported that during the disturbance, she was attempting to leave the residence, in a vehicle, with her two small children when the 38-year-old suspect broke the rear window out of the SUV that she was in and climbed into the vehicle. The victim and the suspect ended up outside the vehicle and the victim, a short time later, was able to flee the area in that vehicle.”
Police located George at the residence where the alleged altercation occurred.
Suffering from what Wilson called cuts and abrasions from the vehicle's broken glass, George was transported by private vehicle for hospital treatment and then arrested.
George is in his first year of serving as Horton High School's Athletic Director.
According to the USD 430 website, George is still listed as an employee of the South Brown County Schools.
The School Board Monday night held a special meeting but no action was taken pertaining to George's employment.
Superintendent Jason Cline issued a statement to MSC News Monday, prior to the meeting.
The statement read that while the school district has been made aware of the arrest, “this is a private personnel matter, we are not at liberty to discuss details of how this matter may be discussed with the board or how, if at all, this arrest may impact Mr. George’s employment status.”
George is scheduled to make an appearance in Atchison County District Court Monday afternoon.
According to Atchison County Jail records, George is free on bond.
