(KAIR)--The early Sunday morning report of an unknown person inside an Atchison County residence leads to the discovery of a 17-year-old boy who is alleged to have entered the home.

According to Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie, it was shortly before 4:00 Sunday morning that his office received the report, with the caller saying they were awakened from sleeping on the couch when the unknown person began turning lights on in the home.

Laurie’s report states that Deputies arrived at the 4792 Highway 73 residence in less than five minutes after being called there, and found the teen walking down the driveway of the residence. He was taken into custody, and identified as a 17-year-old Atchison boy.

Although it remains unknown as to why the teen entered the residence, Laurie says it’s believed the teen had been at a gathering at a friend’s house about a half-mile away, and it’s possible that alcohol was a contributing factor.
The homeowners, who wish to remain anonymous, tell MSC News the teen made his way into the home by forcing his way through a dog door, and then into the home through another walk-in door. Additionally, with the home secured and locked at the time, the homeowners say the teen was caught on camera looking through the windows of the home prior to entry.

A criminal case is being forwarded to the Atchison County Attorney’s Office for review.
