ATCHISON COUNTY—Law enforcement are investigating a Kansas felon on new allegations following an investigation.
Shortly before 5:00AM on August 24, police officers responded to the area of the 1300 Block North 7th Street in Atchison to investigate a prowler call, according to Police Chief Mike Wilson.
When they arrived a possible suspect was fleeing the area in a Chevrolet Traverse. Officers attempted to stop the vehicle which fled north of the city on 2nd Street and no contact was made with the driver at that time.
