02/05/2018

(KAIR)--A Junction City runaway, arrested in October in connection with the armed burglary of an Atchison County residence, is going to prison.

Atchison County Attorney Jerry Kuckelman tells MSC News Taggart Lee learned his fate Friday in Atchison County Court. "He was sentenced to 36-months with the Department of Corrections for his involvement in a robbery."

Lee, who was 17 at the time of the alleged crimes, was arrested for his role in the incident that happened at 4123 Ottawa Road.

A woman, planning to clean that residence, arrived there only to find a burglary in progress.

Atchison County authorities at the time said the woman was held at knife point.

Lee, originally from Atchison, had been reported as a runaway from Junction City prior to his arrest.

Two other teens were also accused of playing a role in the crime.
