(KAIR)--A late Saturday night Atchison pursuit sent two to jail, facing drug and firearms related charges.

According to a report from Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, the pursuit began shortly before midnight after an officer attempted to stop a Cadillac Escalade following a report that it had been seen driving erratically in the area of Raven Hill Road.

The SUV instead fled northbound on 6th Street to 4th Street and U.S. Highway 59, where officers deployed stop sticks, flattening several of the SUV’s tires.
Arrested, just west of the Amelia Earhart Bridge, were 35-year-old Kajuan Jackson, of Wichita, and his passenger, 26-year-old Britney Scott, of Independence, Missouri.

Jackson, identified by Wilson as the driver, faces charges of fleeing and attempting to elude, possession of methamphetamine, possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, criminal possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, possession of a firearm with defaced identification marks, driving while suspended, and other traffic offenses.

Scott faces charges for possession of methamphetamine, possession of drug paraphernalia, criminal possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and possession of a firearm with defaced identification marks.

Following their arrests, Jackson and Scott were booked into the Atchison County Jail.

Wilson said an investigation “continues related to other evidence seized from the vehicle.”
