Richard Burge/Credit: Atchison Co Sheriff
(KAIR)--An Atchison pedestrian, early Thursday evening, was arrested for failing to make a court appearance, and now faces drug charges in addition to his original legal issues.
According to a release from Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, an officer on patrol, around 5:00 Thursday evening, spotted Richard Burge II walking in the 900 block Main Street.
Knowing that the 44-year-old was wanted on four outstanding Atchison County District Court warrants for failure to appear in court, the officer took him into custody.
It was when Burge was apprehended, Wilson says, that he was allegedly found to be in possession of methamphetamine, and now faces those related charges.
Following his arrest, Burge was booked into the Atchison County Jail.
