In the early morning hours of Sunday, October 19, 2025, Parsons Police Officers responded to a report of a battery in the 1100 block of South 13th Street in Parsons.
Upon arrival, officers located an adult male victim with significant facial injuries and blood visible on his face and clothing. The victim declined immediate medical attention but was later transported to Labette Health for evaluation. Medical personnel confirmed multiple facial fractures and other trauma injuries consistent with a physical assault.
Preliminary investigation revealed that earlier in the evening, the victim reportedly confronted individuals he believed were involved in the theft of his personal property. Shortly after returning to his residence, two male suspects arrived and forcibly entered the victim's apartment, where a physical altercation occurred.
Through the course of the investigation, officers identified the suspects as Jonathan "Junebug" Atchley and Jeremiah "JD" Schaible, both of Parsons. Witness statements and evidence indicated that Schaible physically assaulted the victim while Atchley was present and allegedly took the victim's wallet during the incident.
Officers later located Schaible at a residence in the 2600 block of Clark Avenue, where he was taken into custody without incident. Atchley subsequently arrived at the Parsons Police Department and was also taken into custody. Both suspects were booked into the Parsons Police Department's temporary holding facility.
Atchley was arrested for Aggravated Robbery, Aggravated Kidnapping, Battery and Criminal Littering. Schaible was arrested for Aggravated Battery, Aggravated Kidnapping and Aggravated Robbery. The investigation remains ongoing, and additional charges may be submitted to the Labette County Attorney's Office for review.
"This case demonstrates the professionalism and persistence of our responding officers and investigators," said Parsons Police Chief Robert Spinks. "Their quick coordination ensured the suspects were identified, located, and arrested within hours of the incident. Our department remains committed to protecting victims of violent crime and holding offenders accountable, it is now up to the judicial leg of this county to finish these officer's fine work."
This continues to be an on-going investigation, and citizens are encouraged to "See It, Hear It, Report It." All suspects are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. If anyone has any further information on this incident or any other criminal activity, please contact the Parsons Police Department at 421-7060 or call the Tip Line at 421-7057 or email at tips@parsonspdks.gov.
