(KAIR)--An Atchison man, wanted on several warrants, including one for attempted burglary, now faces additional charges after his alleged attempt to flee on foot from officers trying to apprehend him for the active warrants.

According to a release from Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, Raymond Fink was the target of officers who were sent to 9th and Unity Streets, around 6:00 Saturday evening, after receiving reports that the 20-year-old Fink was in that area. An officer spotted Fink walking in the area of the 800 block of Mound Street, but Fink allegedly refused to stop, running from officer, leading to a foot pursuit. A short time later, Fink was stopped, and taken into custody in the 1000 block of North 8th Street.

Fink was wanted on four warrants, one for criminal damage to property, in April, and another for theft, in early May, with both warrants arising from incidents at Walmart. The third warrant was for attempted burglary and criminal damage to property, related to an April 26 attempt to enter a vehicle, which Fink allegedly caused damage to, in a parking lot in the 800 block of Raven Hill Road. The fourth Atchison County District Court warrant was for failure to appear.

Following his Saturday evening arrest, Fink was booked into the Atchison County Jail.
