(KAIR)--An Atchison man, already in custody at the county jail for an outstanding out-of-area municipal warrant, was again arrested Tuesday afternoon in connection with the burglary of a local industrial plant.

That's according to Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson who, in a release, says 36-year-old Keith Williams was arrested for that crime Tuesday, one day after Atchison Police arrested him for the DeSoto, Kansas warrant.

Now facing charges of burglary and theft, Williams is accused of burglarizing Progress Rail, located at 2604 Industrial Road, around 3:00 Sunday morning when miscellaneous items including headphones, food, a flashlight, and others, were taken.

According to Wilson, the majority of those items were recovered after officers executed a search warrant at a residence on Tuesday, one day after the burglary was reported.

Williams remains in custody at the Atchison County Jail.
