(KAIR)--An Atchison man is facing charges for aggravated assault and sexual battery.
According to a release from Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, 27-year-old Joseph Evans was taken into custody Sunday on an Atchison County District Court warrant charging him with the crimes, stemming from January 16.
It was in the early morning hours of that date, according to Wilson, that “police officers responded to a residence in the 1900 block of Harper Drive where an 18-year-old female reported being the victim of a sexual battery.” A 38-year-old man reported that he’d been threatened with a firearm.
Following his arrest Sunday, Evans was booked into the Atchison County Jail. He was later released on a $40,000 bond.
