A reported theft from the Atchison Walmart leads to law enforcement response, and to the arrest of a Leavenworth woman who now faces numerous charges, including the possession of heroin and methamphetamine.

27-year-old Cari Lynn Chicago is accused of the crimes, discovered when her vehicle was stopped by an Atchison County Sheriff's Deputy.

Sheriff Jack Laurie tells MSC News it was during the stop that the suspected drugs were found. “The suspect went south on [U.S. Highway 73] where the Deputy was able to find them about 210th Road, on 73 Highway. Following the traffic stop, they located methamphetamine and what's believed to be heroin. When they located the other substances, they asked if there was anything else on her, and she said no, and had actually given a false name at the time, as well.”

Once Chicago was in custody, she was transported to the Atchison County Jail, where Laurie says she attempted to bring contraband into the facility. “Once they got to jail, they gave her another opportunity to get rid of anything that she had at that time, as far as contraband goes, but once she entered the jail, they found another pipe on her person.”

Chicago faces charges of possession of stimulant, possession of opiate, possession of paraphernalia, interference with a law enforcement officer, and traffic contraband in a correctional facility.

She was also arrested by Atchison Police for theft.

Booked into the Atchison County Jail, Chicago is held on a $25,000 bond.
