(KNZA)--A Horton woman was arrested Tuesday afternoon after leading authorities on a pursuit in Jackson County.
Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse says 34-year-old Stella Marie Mahkuk was taken into custody on charges of felony fleeing and eluding, interference with law enforcement and multiple traffic offenses following the six-mile pursuit.
Morse says the pursuit began after a deputy attempted to stop the driver of a Chevy Cavalier for speeding near the intersection of K-116 Highway and V Road in eastern Jackson County about four miles east of Holton.
He says the vehicle eventually came to a stop at the K-116 and K-16 junction. However, Morse says when the deputy exited his patrol vehicle to approach the driver, the driver allegedly sped off heading southbound on K-16. The pursuit continued south to 210th Road and then back north to 214th Road.
Deputies deployed three sets of stop sticks flattening the vehicle's tires about a 1/2 mile east of Q Road on 214th Road. The vehicle came to a stop about a 1/2 mile east U.S. 75 Highway on 214th Road.
Mahkuk was arrested and booked into the Jackson County Jail.
