(KAIR)--An investigation into Atchison County drug-related activity leads to the arrest of a 62-year-old Cummings resident.
According to Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie, Stephen Blackaby allegedly sold methamphetamine from his residence, located at 4424 U.S. 59 Highway, on March 1, 2017, while he was under investigation.
A warrant was later issued for his arrest in connection with the alleged crime.
Free since the time of the alleged meth sale, Laurie says Blackaby was taken into custody last week in Jackson County, Missouri on the Atchison County warrant.
Following his apprehension, Blackaby later waived extradition.
He now faces charges of distribution of methamphetamine and use of a communication facility in the commission of a felony drug violation.
Bond for Blackaby is set at $20,000.
