(KAIR)--An alleged threat made to an employee of an Atchison liquor store lands one man in jail. Arrested Saturday, in connection with the crime, was 48-year-old Tyon Whitely, of Atchison.

According to a release from Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, Whitely was arrested on charges of criminal threat and criminal trespass at the business, located at 119 South 9th Street. Following his arrest, Whitely was booked into the Atchison County Jail.

Wilson, in the release, explains that a 25-year-old employee of the store reported that a man, now identified as Whitely, had come onto the store's property, although he had previously been banned.

According to the employee's report, Whitely allegedly threatened him with great bodily harm.

Police, Wilson said, located Whitely a short time after receiving the report, finding him in the 100 block of South 8th Street, where he was taken into custody.
