Armed Robbery Suspect Jailed In Atchison Co

(KAIR)--One of two suspects, accused of an early May Atchison County armed robbery, is in custody.

Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie says 29-year-old Buckner, Missouri resident Ronald Dean Mitchell II was arrested in his home state Tuesday. “He was picked up by the Blue Springs Police Department,” Laurie tells MSC News.

Buckner was apprehended on an Atchison County District Court warrant for aggravated robbery and aggravated battery.

The charges arise from Mitchell's alleged role in the robbery that occurred May 1.

He was booked into the Atchison County Jail.

A 28-year-old Oak Grove, Missouri resident reported to the Sheriff's Office that, following a withdrawal of funds from an Atchison ATM, he rode with Mitchell, and another man, to a rural Atchison County location, near 258th and Sherman Road, where he was hit in the back of the head with a shotgun, and robbed. “They were all in the same vehicle together. Went to Casey's gas station to use the ATM. Left there, and the driver of the vehicle drove them into the County, which ended up being the area of Sumner Cemetery. That's where we believe the robbery took place,” Laurie says.

The victim told Sheriff's investigators two shots, from the shotgun, were fired over his head.

Laurie says the other suspect has been identified by investigators, and an arrest is forthcoming.
