(KAIR)--The sighting of a stolen vehicle turns into an Atchison County pursuit that ended with the driver in custody.
According to a release from Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie, it happened Sunday morning, around 10:30 when deputies spotted a Chevrolet Malibu, reported stolen in Atchison, traveling on U.S. Highway 59, in rural Atchison County.
Instead of stopping, Laurie said the driver fled, but the car was eventually disabled by the On-Star in-vehicle safety and security system. Once stopped, the driver allegedly fled on foot, but deputies, through use of the Sheriff department’s K-9, were able to apprehend the suspect, identified as 28-year-old Casey Cane Jordan Crawford, a short distance from the disabled vehicle.
Crawford, of Atchison, was taken into custody on charges of theft of a vehicle, fleeing and attempting to elude, interference with law enforcement, operating a vehicle with no valid license, and several traffic infractions.
Following his arrest, Crawford was booked into the Atchison County Jail.
