(KNZA)--Two are jailed in Jackson County, following what Sheriff Tim Morse describes as a Tuesday afternoon pursuit.
He says it happened around 12:30, when a deputy attempted to stop a pickup truck bearing what authorities believed was a stolen dealer's tag.
The vehicle, traveling near 166th and U.S. Highway 75, failed to stop, leading to a pursuit, with the truck leaving the roadway, and driving into a field, off of Q. Road, south of 134th Road.
The vehicle became stuck, and Morse says that while the passenger surrendered immediately, the driver fled on foot into a wooded area.
The Kansas Highway Patrol, complete with helicopter assistance, Potawatomi Tribal Police, and the Hoyt Police Department, all joined the search.
The suspect was captured by a Jackson County Deputy, around 1:20, as he attempted to flee the area in a creek bed.
He is identified as 38-year-old Troy Hill, of Topeka. He faces charges of felony fleeing and eluding, felony interference with law enforcement, driving while revoked, and possession of stolen property.
The passenger, 29-year-old Andrea Godfrey, of Topeka, faces charges of felony interference with law enforcement, and possession of stolen property.
Both were booked into the Jackson County Jail.
