Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie, in a release, said it happened early Sunday morning after his office was notified of the pursuit, which involved 19-year-old Florrisant, Missouri resident Jaylon L. Ray.
After deputies were told Ray had entered Atchison County, the pursuit came to an end when the 2014 Hyundai he was driving crashed into the swimming pool. However, it’s alleged that Ray didn’t give up, with Laurie saying he fled the crash scene on foot, but was located several hours later in Effingham.
Ray was arrested for possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, and leaving the scene of an accident.
Additional Jefferson County charges are possible, as are charges in Colorado where Ray allegedly fled from the Colorado Highway Patrol on Saturday.
Following his arrest in Effingham, Ray was booked into the Atchison County Jail.
No injuries are reported.
