RILEY COUNTY —Law enforcement authorities are investigating a suspect who allegedly broke into a Manhattan apartment armed with a shotgun.
Just before 9a.m. Friday, the Riley County Communications Center received a 911 call reporting an active burglary in the 1300 block of Flint Hills Place in Manhattan, according to a media release.
RCPD officers quickly arrived on scene and found 31-year-old Chancellor Copenhaver behind the apartment along with the residents who are known to him.
Copenhaver sustained a minor head injury during a struggle with a 47-year-old man inside the apartment. The investigation revealed Copenhaver had grabbed and forced a 20-year-old woman out of the apartment during the struggle.
It was also reported that Copenhaver had contacted the woman and went to her residence multiple times against her will after being trespassed. Neither of the victims were treated for injuries.
Copenhaver was taken into custody and transferred to Via Christi by Riley County EMS for treatment of his injury. He was later released and transferred to the Riley County Jail on requested charges of aggravated burglary, aggravated assault, kidnapping, and stalking. He is being held on a total bond of $250,000.
