ATCHISON COUNTY —Law enforcement authorities are investigating a suspect after an alleged altercation with police.
Just after 10p.m Sunday, police responded to the area of River Road and Commercial Street in Atchison to check on a suspicious person, according to police chief Mike Wilson.
At the scene, officers located 44-year-old Jason Seager who was wanted on District Court warrants for failure to appear in court. He threatened officers with a big stick and then fled on foot, according to Wilson.
Officers later apprehended him near 4th and Commercial and subsequently found to be in possession of methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia.
Seager is being held on requested charges of aggravated assault on a police officer, possession of methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia, and interference with law enforcement.
In July, police arrested Seager after he threatened a man with a baseball bat outside an apartment complex in the 300 block Santa Fe in Atchison.
