(KAIR)--Another arrest is made in connection with a November home invasion at an Atchison residence. “We do have a third suspect now in custody,” Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson told MSC News. “[The arrest] is related to the November 22 aggravated robbery that we worked at an occupied residence in the 1200 block of North 4th.”

Wilson said a Leavenworth man is now in custody for his alleged role in the crime. “Two 16-year-old males have previously been arrested, and now we have 19-year-old Jachauan Worley, of Leavenworth, in custody. He is in custody in Leavenworth on charges not related to our case. He will face charges in Atchison that include aggravated robbery, aggravated burglary, criminal restraint, theft, and criminal damage to property. Part of this investigation has connected him to the two 16-year-olds who are from Atchison. We now know what led those three to have contact with each other, what led them to Atchison that night. There’s a number of details we now have answered.”

Wilson earlier this month told MSC News it was shortly after 10:00 on the night of November 22 when the three suspects forced their way into the occupied apartment when the 19-year-old female victim opened the door. “Once inside one of the suspects struck the victim in the face with a handgun and struck her in the stomach with his fist. The three demanded money from her. After getting a small amount of cash from her, as well as taking keys and a cell phone from the apartment, the three fled out a window of the second story apartment after hearing someone knocking on the victim’s door. They disappeared into the darkness.”

The two 16-year-olds were located in early December and taken into custody, while the search for Worley continued.

Wilson said the victim knew the alleged attackers, who had tried to conceal their identities by covering their faces with bandanas at the time of the alleged attack. The victim was not seriously hurt.
