A Kansas City man is held in jail following a recent Mercer County arrest on two felony charges and three misdemeanor counts.
Twenty-seven-year-old Drake Andrew Kately is to appear next Tuesday, August 6th, in Mercer County’s Associate Division of Circuit Court. Bond has been set at $75,000.
Kately faces charges for July 24th incidents that allegedly include felony assault in the first degree and unlawful possession of a firearm. Misdemeanor counts are resisting or interfering with an arrest, detention or stop; driving while the license was suspended or revoked, and operating a vehicle without proof of financial responsibility.
Charges were filed one week ago in Mercer County by assistant Prosecuting Attorney, Lauren Horsman of Chillicothe. The August 6th appearance includes a hearing on having an attorney to represent Kately in court.
