(KAIR)--A more than $200 haul of stolen merchandise from an Atchison retailer leads to police response, a joint search by City and County authorities, and to the arrest of a Leavenworth man.

According to a release from Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, 18-year-old Kaleb Marshall was arrested for theft and for the possession of methamphetamine.

According to Wilson, Police Officers were called to the Atchison Walmart, located at 1920 U.S. Highway 73, around 11:00 Tuesday night to investigate a theft.
During the investigation, “it was determined that a suspect had stolen $221 in merchandise that included a backpack and clothing.”

Having left the area in a vehicle, a search for the suspect was launched, with an alert issued for the vehicle.

According to the release, “a short time later Sheriff’s Deputies stopped the vehicle at 262nd and Ottawa Road.”

Marshall, according to Wilson, was found to be in possession of meth at the time of his arrest for the alleged theft at Walmart, and he was taken into custody on both charges, then booked into the Atchison County Jail.
