(KAIR)--Another Atchison man is arrested in connection with the theft of firearms from an Atchison residence.

Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson told MSC News 19-year-old Trevor VanHoozer allegedly assisted another 21-year-old male in the theft of firearms on Nov. 15.

“That investigation determined that VanHoozer assisted in the transportation of 13 stolen guns from a crime scene to two separate locations where we recovered all the guns,” Wilson said. “VanHoozer was prohibited from possession of the firearms because of his criminal history.”

Wilson said VanHoozer was taken into custody Tuesday evening around 10:30 when an officer spotted a vehicle in the 1600 block of Santa Fe they believed to be associated with VanHoozer.

After stopping the vehicle, officers discovered marijuana, drug paraphernalia and alcohol. He now faces charges of marijuana and drug paraphernalia possession and possession of alcohol by an underage person.

In connection with the theft of guns, he’s charged with criminal possession of a firearm and attempted theft of a firearm. Lastly, he faces a district court warrant for failure to appear in court.

He was booked into the Atchison County Jail where he remains without bond.
