(KAIR)--An argument on social media and text spills over to real life, ending with the arrest of an Atchison man accused of making a threat while brandishing a knife.

Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson told MSC News the alleged confrontation occurred on the night of November 22, and led to an investigation that led to Thursday’s arrest of 18-year-old Jace Crail. “Officers responded to a disturbance in the 300 block of North 7th where an 18-year-old male had threatened a 20-year-old male with a knife. He also damaged a vehicle belonging to an 18-year-old male. These two victims had been in a vehicle that was preceding through an alleyway when they were confronted by the suspect, who was on foot. After this confrontation, the suspect fled the area before we arrived, but he was taken into custody on December 6.”

According to Wilson, several people were inside the vehicle confronted by Crail, with one of the occupants believed to have been the one Crail argued with prior to the alleged alleyway confrontation. “There was actually three people in the car. At least one of the three, the suspect knew. There apparently had been some previous discussion between them through social media, there had been some texting between the two a short time before this confrontation. Somehow the suspect knew the victims would be coming through that alleyway, and then, of course, stood in front of the vehicle as it came down the alleyway at slow speed and the confrontation followed.”

Crail was arrested on charges of aggravated assault and criminal damage to property.

Following his arrest he was booked into the Atchison County Jail.
