(KAIR)--A stolen vehicle is recovered and one is arrested on numerous charges after a Friday afternoon injury wreck in Atchison.

Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson said it was 4:15 in the afternoon when police and first responders were called to 11073 US 59.

“A stolen 2011 Ford truck driven by Dalton Spinner, of Lansing, had been southbound on Omaha Junction when it struck an eastbound 1997 Chevrolet Suburban driven by Jacob Layton, of Atchison,” Wilson said. “The subsequent investigation determined that Spinner had stolen the 2011 Ford truck in Leavenworth several days earlier.”

Wilson said after crashing the vehicle, Spinner ran to nearby Max's BP.

“He attempted to steal a parked vehicle,” Wilson said. “Several bystanders intervened and Spinner was held by bystanders until police arrived.”

While officers were arresting Spinner, methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia were found on his person.

In total, Spinner is facing six charges including possession of a stolen vehicle, attempted theft of a vehicle, possession of methamphetamine, possession of drug paraphernalia, driving while suspended and failure to yield involving a motor vehicle accident.

Wilson said Spinner had a female passenger in the stolen truck when it crashed and she was transported by EMS for examination.

“A passenger in the Layton was taken to the hospital by private vehicle to the hospital for examination,” Wilson said.
