(KAIR)--An Atchison man is facing numerous charges, including using a hammer to threaten a victim during a domestic disturbance.

35-year-old Delvin Debnam was arrested Wednesday by Atchison Police on a District Court warrant for aggravated assault, criminal threat, and domestic battery. He was also arrested on another District Court warrant charging him with theft and attempted theft.

Following his arrest, Debnam was booked into the Atchison County Jail.

According to a release from Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, the theft and attempted theft charges stem from incidents that occurred December 5 and 24 of last year at the Atchison Walmart, located at 1920 U.S. Highway 73.

The other charges, including aggravated assault, criminal threat, and domestic battery, are in connection to what Wilson calls “a police investigation on January 11 of a domestic disturbance that had occurred at a residence in the 1500 block of Commercial Street.
It’s alleged that Debnam, during the disturbance, struck the 39-year-old victim with his fists and made threats with a hammer.
