(KAIR)--A weekend, Atchison disturbance turned into a pursuit that ended, with no one arrested, in Missouri.
According to a release from Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, his officers were called to the 100 block of South 3rd Street for the report of the disturbance, which was originally reported as having involved a weapon.
When officers arrived, they learned that the suspect had driven off in a pickup truck, which was then spotted by an officer, at 4th Street and U.S. Highway 59, with the officer attempting to stop the truck, which fled across the Amelia Earhart Memorial Bridge, into Missouri.
Wilson, in the release, says the suspect driver fled for several miles, traveling eastbound on U.S. 59, before stopping the truck and fleeing, on food, into the early Sunday morning darkness.
According to Wilson, the Buchanan County Sheriff's Office arrived on the scene and joined in the investigation, which ended with the suspect remaining free. However, Wilson says the suspect's identify has been determined by investigators, and the investigation is continuing.
The disturbance, which was reported around 2:00 Sunday morning, did not result in any injuries.
Despite the initial report that the suspect was armed, Wilson says a handgun was not used in the disturbance, and it was not used to make any threats, with investigators believing it was initially reported because the suspect was seen possessing the handgun inside the vehicle, despite it not being involved in the disturbance.
