“Shortly before midnight Tuesday night officers observed a vehicle drive to the parking lot of Walmart,”said Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson. “The officer's attention was drawn to the vehicle because the vehicle was involved in previous pursuits from the police.

Wilson also said there was a passenger with Roles, 40-year-old Kelly McGuire, of Atchison. who was taken into custody on a State of Kansas detain order.
Roles was booked into the Atchison County Jail where he remains held without bond.
