(KAIR)--An Atchison man, already jailed in a domestic battery case, is now facing charges in a residential burglary.

According to a report from Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, 50-year-old Jason Alexander was arrested Friday on a District Court warrant for burglary, theft, and criminal damage to property.

At 6:00 the morning of April 4th police officers responded to a disturbance in the 1900 block of Harper Drive and subsequently arrested Alexander for domestic battery.

During the investigation of the domestic disturbance, Wilson said information was developed that a burglary had occurred several hours earlier at a nearby residence in the 19-hundred block Harper Drive.

Officers went to the residence, where the resident was not home, and determined that forced entry was made into the residence. The resident was later located and it was discovered that various items with a total value of about $3,900 had been stolen--including a lawnmower, a grill, an eagle statue, a tool bag, and other items.

Wilson said many of the items were recovered during the investigation.

He said Alexander was still in custody on the domestic battery case when he was served on Friday morning with the new charges. Bond on the new charges was set at $15,000.
