(KNZA)--Details are released regarding a Horton pursuit last week that ended with an Independence, Missouri man in custody.

The chase began in Horton, around 1:30 on the morning of August 29, according to Brown County Sheriff John Merchant who, in a release, says his deputies responded to assist, with the pursuit already in progress.

According to the release, the suspect vehicle fled from Horton, northbound on U.S. Highway 73, at a high rate of speed, making its way into Hiawatha, where the driver lost control and wrecked, near Farm and Home, allegedly fleeing the scene of the wreckage on foot.

Merchant, in the release, says Horton and Hiawatha Police were able to locate the suspect, who had tried to hide in a tree line.

Arrested was 24-year-old Montez Rodriguez, who was taken into custody on Horton-based charges. Following his arrest, Rodriguez was booked into the Brown County Jail.
