Update: A 53-year-old man, wanted on a Henry County, Missouri warrant charging him with assault in the first degree, unlawful possession of a firearm, and armed criminal action, was the subject of Wednesday afternoon's law enforcement activity in the area of Atchison's Washington and Riley Streets.

Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson told MSC News his office has been working with the U.S. Marshals for the last several days to locate the suspect. Surveillance all day Wednesday focused on a residence located at 200 East Riley Street.

Attempts to bring the man into custody were ultimately successful, but Wilson said he was found to have incurred self-inflicted cuts, and was transported to a Missouri hospital for treatment.

His name was not immediately released.

Details regarding the situation are not immediately made public.

Motorists are urged to avoid the area until the all clear is given.
