A release from Brown County Sheriff John Merchant says Horton Police and the Brown County Sheriff’s K-9 unit attempted to stop the 2014 Chevy Malibu around 5:30 Thursday evening in the City of Horton.
During the pursuit, the car left the roadway and crashed in Nemaha County.
According to a release from the Nemaha County Sheriff’s Office, the car was westbound on 24th Road, just west of O Road, when it went out of control on the loose gravel and slid into the north ditch.
Suffering minor injuries in the wreck were 30-year-old Andrew Davis, identified as the driver, and his 21-year-old passenger, Lashaina Simon.
Davis was transported by ambulance to Hiawatha Community Hospital for the treatment of his injuries.
The pair was arrested by the Brown County Sheriff’s Office.
Davis faces charges for four counts of possession of stolen property, felony flee to elude, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of marijuana, and driving while license canceled, suspended, or revoked.
Simon faces charges for possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, and possession of stolen property.
Following their arrests, both Davis and Simon were booked into the Brown County Jail.
