(KAIR)--An investigation that began early this year, following a case of theft at an Atchison convenience store, has led to the arrest of an Atchison man on numerous drug-related charges.

Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, in a release, said 29-year-old Kenneth Gulley III was arrested Wednesday evening, in the 500 block of Park Street, on an Atchison County District Court warrant charging him with possession of fentanyl, possession of alprazolam, possession of drug paraphernalia, and theft. He was additionally wanted on a Community Corrections detain order, and a District Court warrant for failure to appear.

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

His bond is set at $10,000.

Wilson, in the release, explains that the charges stem from what began as a theft investigation at Casey's General Store, located in the 1600 block of Main Street, February 2, of this year. That probe led to what Wilson calls “controlled substances found to be in the possession of...Gulley.”
