(KAIR)--An Atchison man is behind bars facing multiple charges after fleeing from Atchison police.
“Shortly before 11 am on Wednesday morning, officers responded to an apartment complex in the 1200 block of North 4th to locate a person who was unlawfully in an apartment there,” said Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson. “Officers arrived and did locate a suspect at the scene and a foot pursuit followed. 48-year-old Dale Birch was apprehended in a nearby wooded area.”
Wilson says Birch was wanted on a number of outstanding Buchanan County warrants for failure to appear in court.
However, officers also located methamphetamine in the apartment where he was first located before running from police. He faces charges of possession of meth and drug paraphernalia, criminal trespass and obstructing legal process.
Birch booked into the Atchison County Jail.
