(KAIR)--A teenager is facing charges in connection to an alleged attempt to flee from Atchison Police.
According to a release from Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, an officer attempted to stop the Chevrolet Monte Carlo, allegedly driven by the 17-year-old boy, shortly after midnight Sunday in the 200 block of North 5th Street. According to Wilson, the stop was being made for traffic violations.
However, the vehicle failed to stop, instead fleeing from the officer and making his way into Atchison County.
The Kansas Highway Patrol and the Atchison County Sheriff- Office assisted with the search for the suspect vehicle, with a deputy and trooper able to take the driver into custody.
Wilson says the teen was arrested on charges for fleeing and attempting to elude, reckless driving, no vehicle tag, and other traffic charges.
Following his arrest, the teen was released to a guardian.
