(KNZA)--A young Hiawatha man was arrested late Monday afternoon after leading authorities on a high-speed chase.
The chase began on U.S. 36 Highway in Nemaha County shortly after 4:30 when a Kansas Highway Patrol trooper attempted to stop an eastbound 1991 Nissen driven by 21-year-old Jesse Mitcham for speeding, and ended in Brown County just east of Horned Owl Road after stop sticks were deployed by Brown County Sheriff’s deputies.
The Highway Patrol says the passenger tires blew on Mitcham’s car when he ran over the stop sticks and his car sideswiped a westbound sport utility vehicle driven by 59-year-old Gary Hulsing of Topeka, who was not hurt.
Mitcham’s vehicle came to rest in the eastbound lane and he was apprehended without incident.
Mitcham was transported to the Hiawatha Community Hospital where he was treated for possible injuries and then taken to the Brown County Jail.
