(KAIR)--Details are made public following an Atchison County pursuit that stemmed from the report of a stolen vehicle Saturday night.

According to Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie, 23-year-old Jesse Hundley notified the Sheriff's Office around 9:15 that his pick-up truck had been stolen.

Naming 32-year-old Horton resident Megan Hollister as the suspect, Deputies responded to the area of Sherman Road and 244th Road, where the crime had allegedly taken place.

The vehicle was located, stopped at 244th Road; and, when the Deputy turned around, Laurie says Hollister sped off, heading northbound at a high rate of speed.

Losing sight of the vehicle, the Deputy continued the search, which led to Atchison's Raven Hill Road, where Hollister wrecked the pickup, just west of 6th Street.

Hollister was gone, having fled on foot, but was located a short time later following a search for her whereabouts.

She was transported to the Atchison Hospital for treatment of injuries suffered in the wreck.

Laurie says Hollister remained hospitalized as of Monday morning for treatment of a fractured leg. No other major injuries followed the rollover wreck, which involved the stolen pickup hitting a tree after Hollister lost control and overcorrected.

Remaining under the custody of the Sheriff's Office, Hollister is facing charges of theft, driving while suspended and fleeing and eluding. She was also wanted on a Jackson County District Court warrant for burglary.
