(KAIR)--An Atchison man is facing charges in connection with an Atchison altercation that required hospital treatment. “Some of those injuries were somewhat serious, and included fractures,” Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson told MSC News, adding that 28-year-old Joshua Sharp is accused of the crime that occurred last year. “6:30 in the morning, on September 23, our officers responded to an intersection in a residential area, just north of downtown, to check on a person who had been involved in a disturbance. This 27-year-old male was located who told officers he’d been at a party, at a nearby residence, where he received head and facial injuries. Due to those injuries, EMS was called to the scene, but he refused medical treatment and he would not communicate to our officers details of the disturbance. However, two days later, this victim did come to police headquarters [and wanted] to report the details of the incident that had occurred leading to his injuries. He had since been treated for those injuries at a Kansas City hospital.”

According to Wilson, Sharp was apprehended last weekend in Riley County, Kansas on an Atchison County District Court warrant for aggravated battery.

He was booked into the Atchison County Jail following his Monday arrest in Atchison.

His bond is set at $30,000.

Sharp is facing additional, unrelated charges, and is also believed to have been a passenger in a stolen vehicle that fled from Atchison Police February 12. “His name has also come up on several other investigations," Wilson said. "We actually have a pending case, with him as a suspect, on a domestic battery case. We also have a case under investigation in which a truck was stolen in the Shawnee County area. We did pursue that vehicle. [We believe now it involved] two people in the truck, not only the driver but a passenger. We have been conducting a number of interviews where we have determined that Joshua Sharp also has a connection to that case [and] we believe that he was a passenger in that vehicle.”

The pickup truck was located in Buchanan County, Missouri a short time after the pursuit. No arrest is yet made in connection with that case, and the suspected driver is not yet identified.

Wilson said the investigation continues in conjunction with Shawnee County, Kansas and Buchanan County, Missouri authorities.
