Riley County Police are investigating an alleged armed burglary that occurred Friday at a Manhattan apartment complex.
31-year-old Chancellor Copenhaver, of Wamego, is accused of breaking into an apartment in the 1300 block of Flint Hills Place with a shotgun. Officers responded and located him behind the apartment along with residents known to him.
Copenhaver sustained a minor head injury during a struggle with a 47-year-old man inside the apartment. Investigators determined Copenhaver had grabbed and forced a 20-year-old woman out of the apartment during the struggle. It was also reported that Copenhaver had been contacting the woman against her will and stalking her.
Neither victim was treated for injuries.
Copenhaver was taken into custody and treated for his injury at Ascension Via Christi. He was released and transferred to the Riley County Jail, where he remains in custody on charges of aggravated burglary, aggravated assault, kidnapping and stalking. Bond was set at $250,000.
