(KAIR)--An Atchison man is facing a number of charges following his alleged failure to stop for deputies on Saturday.

According to a release from Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie, deputies attempted to stop a pickup truck, driven by 32-year-old Phillip Roles, in the 6000 block of Sherman Road, in rural Atchison County, around 11:30 Saturday morning for a traffic infraction. Instead of stopping, Laurie said Roles fled the area, and made his way to the Amelia Earhart Memorial Bridge, in Atchison.

Atchison Police deployed stop sticks on the Kansas side of the bridge, flattening at least two of the truck’s tires.

The truck came to a stop in the 13000 block of 130th Road, in Winthrop, Missouri, but Roles allegedly fled on foot, but was located and detained at 17330 SW Fowler Avenue.

Transported to the Atchison Hospital due to medical complaints by Roles, he was later arrested Saturday afternoon and booked into the Atchison County Jail.

Roles now faces charges for felony flee and elude, driving while suspended, interference with a law enforcement officer, reckless driving, transporting an open container, and no proof of insurance.
Roles was also arrested for an Atchison County District Court Warrant for an arrest and detain order.
