Domestic Battery Sends One Woman To The Hospital, And An Atchison Man To Jail
(KAIR)--An Atchison man goes to jail after an alleged domestic battery incident that sent one woman to the hospital.
Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson says it was around noon on Tuesday when there was a disturbance in the 600 block of Parallel and a 29-year-old woman reported she was a victim of battery.
He said police arrested 25-year-old Jeffery Schmelzle on charges of domestic battery and criminal restraint.
“She did sustain some injuries and subsequently went to the hospital for examination,” Wilson said. “The criminal restraint centers around the suspect had prevented her from leaving the residence during the disturbance...in this case he held her to where she wanted to leave residence but could not—that's what constituted that charge.”
Schmelzle was booked into the Atchison County Jail and was released after posting a $2,500 bond.
