(KAIR)--Two Horton men are jailed in Jackson County following their arrests Monday morning after they allegedly attempted to flee from authorities.
Facing charges related to the case are 31-year-old Michael Dorsch and 24-year-old Stephen Cadue.
Sheriff Tim Morse tells MSC News it began when suspicions arose that Dorsch may have been impaired behind the wheel. “We received a report from the [Kansas] Highway Patrol Motorist Assist Vehicle Unit that reported a northbound white Nissan passenger car in the area of 182nd and U.S. 75 that the driver appeared to be impaired possibly due to their driving.”
A Holton Police Officer attempted to make the stop around 11:00, but it's alleged Dorsch sped off, making his way north of Holton. “Apparently, the police vehicle had mechanical failure and had to end the pursuit,” Morse says. “Jackson County Undersheriff Darrel Chapman quickly picked up the pursuit and ended up northbound toward the town of Netawaka. Stop sticks were deployed, just south of the City of Netawaka, and the vehicle continued through Netawaka, then northbound up to 326th road, where the vehicle then turned east, nearly losing control.”
At that point, Morse says it's alleged unspecified drug paraphernalia, later recovered by deputies, was thrown from Dorsch's vehicle, allegedly by Cadue.
Chapman was able, through the use of his vehicle, to stop Dorsch's car, with both suspects fleeing on foot, south of 326th Road. Morse says a taser was used to incapacitate Cadue, but Dorsch got away, leading to assistance from the Kansas Highway Patrol, complete with search helicopter, along with Kickapoo Tribal Police, Sac and Fox Tribal Police, Horton Police and the Sheriff's Offices of both Brown and Nemaha Counties.
Through the use of K-9 officers, Morse says Dorsch was tracked down, was found hiding in a field, and arrested.
Once both men were in custody, they were booked into the Jackson County Jail.
