(KAIR)--The search continues for a suspect involved in a late Thursday morning Atchison pursuit.
Escaping from Atchison Police, the suspect managed to make his way over the Amelia Earhart Memorial Bridge, into Missouri, where he was last spotted by authorities.
Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson tells MSC News it began around 10:00 when an officer observed an older model Ford truck southbound on River Road. In the back of the truck was metal siding, which drew the suspicions of the officer, who suspected it might have been stolen.
The officer attempted to stop the truck after observing several violations, but the driver sped off, making his way to Commercial Street then south to Main Street where he traveled down an alley to 5th Street, where he drove over the viaduct to Park Street, then to 4th Street, and ultimately across the bridge into Missouri.
Wilson says the metal siding has been recovered, having fallen out of the truck at 4th and Main Streets.
The search for the suspect is ongoing.
