(KAIR)--Atchison Police respond to a domestic disturbance call, and that leads them to a man wanted for allegedly fleeing from officers in April. 

Police Chief Mike Wilson told MSC News 48-year-old Shawn Jenkins was arrested on charges related to the domestic incident, as well as on a district court warrant in connection with the past case. “April the 4th, our officers responded to a report of a shoplifting that had occurred at Walmart. The suspect had left in a vehicle, and a description of that vehicle was given to us. We had another officer spot that vehicle in the area of 4th and 59.”

A pursuit began, ending with the suspect, believed to have been Jenkins, allegedly crashing the vehicle and fleeing on foot. “The vehicle left the roadway, did some damage to a yard, eventually coming to rest,” Wilson said.  

Wilson says the April incident also led to the injury of an officer who was attempting to capture Jenkins. “We had an officer that during the foot pursuit fell off an about a 4-foot retaining wall, had a fractured foot.” 

Wilson says the investigation led authorities to identify the suspect as Jenkins, who had not been located until the domestic incident reported around 1:00 Friday morning in the 400 block of Mound Street. 

He was taken into custody on numerous charges related to the April investigation, including felony theft, misdemeanor theft, fleeing and attempting to elude and other traffic charges, interference with a law enforcement office, and criminal damage to property. Wilson says it's alleged the car Jenkins was driving had been driven without permission. 

Charges arising from the domestic disturbance include domestic battery, criminal restraint, criminal damage to property, and obstructing legal process. 

Following his arrest, Jenkins was booked into the Atchison County Jail.
