(KNZA)--An Atchison County woman is in custody, accused of leading authorities on a two-county pursuit.

Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse says 41-year-old Rachel Dawn Hudson was arrested Tuesday evening following the pursuit that began in Jackson County and ended in Brown County.

Morse says the chase began shortly after 8:20 after a Jackson County deputy attempted to stop a northbound Pontiac G-6 on U.S. 75 Highway at 302 Road for speeding.

The vehicle failed to stop and continued northbound into Brown County

A Brown County deputy deployed a spike strip, puncturing two tires on the car.

The car eventually came to a stop several miles north of the Powhattan exit on Highway 75.

Hudson was booked into the Jackson County Jail on charges of driving under the influence, fleeing and eluding a law enforcement officer and transporting an open container.

The Brown County Sheriff’s Office, Kickapoo Tribal Police and the Kansas Highway Patrol assisted with the apprehension of Hudson.

Morse says Hudson is well-known to Jackson County law enforcement.

She was among four individuals arrested and brought back from Iowa in 2013 following the murder of Mayetta resident Kevin Stanley, and has had other contacts with law enforcement since then.
