(KAIR)--A stolen license plate leads police to a former Atchison resident who was arrested on drug related charges.
Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson says it happened Thursday during a traffic stop, with 38-year-old William Gehring taken into custody. “Shortly after 8 AM on Thursday morning, when an officer on patrol spotted a vehicle in the northern part of the city for a traffic violation, he ran the tag and it came back stolen,” Wilson tells MSC News. “At the same time that is occurring, the person had gotten out of the vehicle, had entered a house. The officer, after receiving the information that the tag on that vehicle was stolen, he went to the residence and took [Gehring] into custody. Gehring was also found to be in possession of methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia.”
