(KAIR)--Curiosity regarding a vehicle parked with the door open leads Atchison police to the driver, who was ultimately arrested on weapon and drug related charges.

Police Chief Mike Wilson tells MSC News the case involving 26-year-old Chris Studdard unfolded Monday morning. “Shortly after 3 a.m. Monday morning, an officer on patrol found a pickup truck illegally parked in the street, in the 300 block of North Fourth. He did locate the owner of that truck in a nearby residence, and that was Studdard.”

Once Studdard was located, the investigation continued, leading police to allegedly find contraband. “Also located in that truck was a handgun,” Wilson says. “It was determined that Studdard was a convicted felon who could not be in possession of that handgun, so he was charged with that. During that investigation methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia was also found.”

Studdard was arrested on charges including possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, possession of methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia, along with a Mitchell County, Kansas warrant for probation violation.

Studdard was booked into the Atchison County Jail on the charges.
