(KNZA)--Two people were arrested Tuesday following a pursuit and manhunt in Jackson County.
Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse, in a release, said a Sheriff's deputy attempted to stop a 2007 Cadillac around 4:15 Tuesday afternoon, just west of U.S. 75 Highway on 158th Road.
The vehicle failed to stop and a vehicle pursuit ensued.
The vehicle continued through various roads in southern Jackson County for about 10 minutes before coming to a stop on O. Road between 126th and 134th Roads.
The passenger, identified as 35-year-old Lloyd Wabaunsee, of Mayetta, fled the vehicle. The alleged driver, 34-year-old Desiree Shopteese, of Topeka, was taken into custody at the scene.
A ground and air search involving multiple agencies was launched, and Wabaunsee was taken into custody shortly before 8:00 Tuesday evening.
Wabaunsee was arrested for felony interference with law enforcement, possession of opiates, possession of a hallucinogenic drug, distribution of a hallucinogenic drug, possession of drug paraphernalia and on a hold for the Department of Corrections.
Shopteese was arrested for flee or attempt to elude law enforcement, distribution of a hallucinogenic drug, driving while suspended, driving without an ignition interlock device and transporting an open container.
Following their arrest, the pair were booked into the Jackson County Jail.
Wabaunsee had just been released from prison in January after serving time for a conviction of 2nd-degree murder in the 2013 shooting death of Kevin Stanley, of Mayetta. Shopteese was also charged in the case.
