(KAIR)--An arrest is made in connection with a Christmas Eve crash that sent an Atchison man to the hospital.
An investigation launched as a result of the wreck alleges that 28-year-old Sean Grippando was driving under the influence at the time the crash occurred.
Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson tells MSC News the wreck happened around 7:00 Sunday evening. "Grippando was eastbound on Harper Drive, at K-7 Highway, when the 2002 Chrysler mini van he was driving left the roadway, crossed a ditch, and drover into a yard where it struck a tree. He was taken to the hospital by private vehicle."
The investigation led to the issuance of a District Court warrant, charging Grippando with possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia, driving under the influence, no vehicle registration, and no proof of insurance.
Wilson says Grippando was arrested Thursday and booked into the Atchison County Jail.
He has since been released on a $1,000 surety bond.
