(KNZA)--A Topeka man is jailed following an early Tuesday morning Jackson County pursuit.

According to a news release from Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse, the chase began shortly before 8:00 on U.S. 75 Highway in southern Jackson County near 110th Road after a sheriff’s deputy attempted to stop a 2009 Impala for a traffic infraction.

The driver allegedly failed to stop and fled south into Shawnee County. The deputy continued the pursuit, which led to the area of Topeka Boulevard and Northwest Independence Avenue, where the deputy terminated the pursuit.

Kansas Highway Patrol troopers and Shawnee County deputies assisted with the search for the driver and vehicle.

Later in the day, Morse says the Jackson County Sheriff’s dispatch was contacted by the suspect, Michael Belaire-Serna, who stated he had reported his car stolen in Topeka. Topeka Police went to meet with Belaire-Serna to take a stolen vehicle report and took him into custody.

He was released to the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office and booked into the Jackson County Jail on charges of felony flee and elude, reckless driving, felony interference with law enforcement and driving while revoked. Belaire-Serna also faces numerous traffic offenses.

His vehicle was recovered in the 1900 of NW Fillmore Street in Topeka and impounded.
