(KAIR)--Concerns of an intoxicated driver are reported to Atchison Police; and when the suspect vehicle is located, a pursuit begins, ending with a collision with a fence, and the arrest of a 27-year-old Atchison man.

Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson tells MSC News his officers located the pickup truck around 7:00 Monday evening in the area of Jackson Park. "We began looking through the park area, eventually locating him outside the park, on the north side, around the area of 4th and Green where he attempted to elude officers. He then drove in a northerly direction through the city, eventually ending in the northeast part of the city, where he went down several streets. He actually went down a street adjacent to the college where he struck a piece of construction machinery...eventually striking a fence in the area of 1st and P, where he was taken into custody."

Arrested was Michael Drimmel, who faces charges including driving under the influence, fleeing and attempting to elude, driving while suspended, reckless driving, transporting an open container, and no proof of insurance.

Following his arrest, Drimmel was booked into the Atchison County Jail.
