According to a report from Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, shortly after 7:30 Sunday evening an officer on patrol saw a vehicle driving recklessly without headlights in the area of South 10th Street and U.S. 59 Highway.

The driver of the 1998 Chevy pickup truck drove into a parking lot in the 400 block of South 10th where the officer stopped the vehicle.
