(KAIR)--A report of a woman being pursued by a pickup truck, in the area of 286th and Greely Road, in Atchison County, Friday morning, turned into a two-county pursuit that ended with an Effingham man in custody.
According to a release from Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie, the report of the woman being chased was made to his office around 7:45 Friday morning, with both of the vehicles then spotted at 1629 Main Street, in Atchison, with the driver of the truck identified as 31-year-old Casey Crawford.
When the deputy arrived, Laurie says Crawford attempted to drive from the parking lot where an Atchison Police Officer had arrived and tried to stop him from fleeing. However, Crawford allegedly made his getaway, leading to the pursuit, which went south on 14th Street to U.S. Highway 59, which Crawford allegedly drove to make his escape into nearby Missouri. Stop sticks, used by Atchison Police, were deployed on the Amelia Earhart Bridge, causing one of the truck's tires to later deflate. Regardless, the truck continued east on Highway 59, in Missouri, turning north on Southwest Mud Lake Road, which continued back to the highway.
Laurie says the Buchanan County, Missouri Sheriff's Office was called in, with those deputies assisting the pursuit by deploying more spike strips that successfully deflated another of the truck's tires, with the pursuit ending around 3-miles south of St. Joseph, Missouri, when Crawford allegedly lost control of the vehicle, which ran into the east ditch and rolled over, stopping upside down.
Atchison and Buchanan County Deputies apprehended Crawford, who was placed into the Missouri department's custody.
According to Laurie, a criminal case is being submitted to the Atchison County Attorney for local charges.
The investigation is continuing.
