(KAIR)--An elderly Atchison man finds himself the victim of a theft that left him without a financial card, and city Police Chief Mike Wilson says the crime is being blamed on a close acquaintance of the man. “We did have an investigation focusing on the theft of a financial card, with an 88-year-old victim,” Wilson tells MSC News. “That financial card was subsequently used at an ATM machine and that particular incident involved an about $400 transaction. We have taken a 28-year-old man into custody for crimes related to the theft, and use, of that financial card.”
Arrested Tuesday on a District Court Warrant for the crime is Tremell Bratton.
He now faces charges of computer crime and criminal use of a financial card.
Following his arrest, Bratton was booked into the Atchison County Jail.
