(KAIR)--An Atchison man, accused of threatening a woman with a knife while trespassing on her property, is now facing related charges following his arrest this week.

Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, in a release, says 37-year-old Jeffery Walker was taken into custody late Tuesday morning on charges including aggravated assault and criminal trespass.

Wilson says the arrest came shortly after officers responded to the 600 block of South 7th Street that morning because "a person was on the premises who had previously been trespassed from that property."

Responding officers learned that the suspect, now identified as Walker, had allegedly threatened great bodily harm to a 57-year-old woman with the use of a knife.

Walker, Wilson says, was located on the property by officers and taken into custody, then booked into the Atchison County Jail.

Despite the knife allegedly being used for the threat, no injuries are reported.
