(KAIR)--A man accused of opening fire, but causing no injuries, at an Atchison residence on the afternoon of August 21, has been arrested following a search for his whereabouts.
Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson tells MSC News police have been working to locate 31-year-old Denton resident Jacob Walsh since the time the shots were fired in the 1900 block of Harper Drive. “It was determined that during a disturbance, a 39-year-old male had been threatened with a handgun, and a shot had been fired near the victim, but he was not injured. The 31-year-old suspect had left the area. We made a number of efforts to locate him, he had fled the area. We knew that his home was in Denton, in Doniphan County. There was an ongoing search since that time.”
Wilson says it was this week that Walsh was located, taken into custody in nearby Missouri. “Earlier this week he was taken into custody in Platte County, Missouri. He waived extradition to Kansas and was brought to the Atchison County Jail.”
Walsh was returned to Atchison County and booked into jail on Thursday.
He was arrested on a District Court warrant for aggravated assault and criminal assault in connection with the the August shots fired, which police, at the time, said began as a verbal altercation.
