(KAIR)--A vehicle, reported stolen in Atchison, was later involved in a pursuit that ended with two arrests.

According to a report from Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, the 2011 Chevrolet Malibu was reported stolen, from the 1500 block of Kansas Avenue, early Sunday morning, and was then spotted that night, at 13th and Main Streets, by a Police Officer who attempted to stop the car.

Instead, the driver fled, with the pursuit ending in the 300 block of Kearney Street when the driver, and several passengers, fled on foot.

The alleged driver, 18-year-old Malakai Short, of Kansas City, Missouri, was located by Police in the 600 block of North 2nd Street, and arrested on charges for possession of a stolen vehicle, and fleeing and attempting to elude.

A 17-year-old passenger was located by Police in the 100 block of Atchison Street, and arrested on a charge of interference with law enforcement.

Short was booked into the Atchison County Jail.

The younger teen was released to a guardian.
