(KAIR)--An Atchison man faces murder charges in connection with a fatal, early Monday morning crash that followed what investigators say was an attempt to flee from law enforcement.
According to a release from Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, 22-year-old Brandon Mann, the alleged driver of the vehicle, was arrested during the noon hour Wednesday on an Atchison County District Court warrant charging him with murder in the first degree, aggravated battery, 2-counts of aggravated endangerment of a child, fleeing and attempting to elude, and reckless driving.
Following his arrest, Mann was booked into the Atchison County Jail.
His bond is set at $750,000.
Wilson, in the release, explains that the “charges are the result of an investigation by the Kansas Highway Patrol and the Atchison Police Department relating to [Monday-] early morning traffic accident that resulted in the death of 20-year-old Jacey Paris” of Atchison. Also injured were two other passengers, aged 15 and 16.
Mann, Wilson said, turned himself in at the Atchison Police Department Wednesday.
