(KNZA)--The two men involved in an early Monday morning Jackson County pursuit near Mayetta, involving the theft of a vehicle, have been identified.
Both are from Holton, with Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse Tuesday identifying them as 19-year-old Nathan Hurteau and 18-year-old Emory Murillo.
Hurteau was arrested for interference with law enforcement, driving under the influence, fleeing and eluding law enforcement, theft, and possession of stolen property.
Murillo was arrested for interference with law enforcement, transporting an open container, and minor in possession of alcohol.
Following their arrests, both were booked into the Jackson County Jail.
The early morning pursuit began around 3:00 Monday morning, near 134th Road and U.S. Highway 75, when a vehicle failed to stop for a traffic stop by a Sheriff’s Deputy.
With the deputy losing sight of the vehicle on gravel roads near Mayetta, it was soon found wrecked, with the two men having escaped on foot.
An additional vehicle, later found overturned, was allegedly stolen by the duo, who were located around 6:00 that morning and arrested.
