(KAIR)--An Atchison man is facing charges after he’s accused of threatening a woman with a gun.
Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson told MSC News 29-year-old Jonathan Huff was arrested around 2:45 Saturday morning, following the report of a disturbance in the 1100 block of North 7th Street. “When they first got there, they did come in contact with a 29-year-old female who reported that [Huff] had been involved in a disturbance with her. [Huff] had actually struck her and had a handgun and pointed the gun at her and made some threats. When the officers arrived very quickly, [Huff] was leaving the area, and officers did spot him. They confronted him, he still had the gun in his hand. There was a little bit of a standoff between [an officer and Huff]. Eventually, the officer was able to get the gun away from him.”
Huff was arrested on charges including domestic battery, aggravated assault, and criminal possession of a firearm. “[The firearm charge] is based on certain prior criminal history [that] will prevent you from possessing a handgun. That includes a domestic violence conviction which he has in the past,” Wilson said.
Following his arrest, Huff was booked into the Atchison County Jail.
According to Atchison County Undersheriff Toby Smith, Huff was found to be in possession of a controlled substance while he was being booked into the facility, leading to his arrest for trafficking contraband into the jail.
Huff has since been released on bond.
