(KAIR)--A 33-year-old Atchison man, accused of leading police on a pursuit aboard a stolen motorcycle last month, has been apprehended.

According to a release from Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, Tyler Chalfant was arrested Tuesday on Atchison County District Court warrants charging him with theft, fleeing and attempting to elude, reckless driving, and no driver's license.

Following his arrest, Chalfant was booked into the Atchison County Jail on the charges, held on a surety bond of $10,000.

Wilson, in the release, explains that the theft of the Harley-Davidson motorcycle was reported to Atchison Police on the afternoon of July 28, after it was stolen from the 100 block of Atchison's South 3rd Street.

That evening, about 2-and a-half-hours after the theft was reported, the motorcycle was spotted by an officer in the area of 6th Street and Raven Hill Road, with the rider allegedly refusing to stop for the officer, instead fleeing north through Atchison.

Heavy traffic and dangerous conditions put an end to the pursuit, with the investigation that followed identifying Chalfant as the suspect in the crimes.

Chalfant was first arrested Monday, taken into custody on a Municipal Court warrant, then booked the next day on the District Court charges.

The motorcycle was recovered July 31, in Savannah, Missouri.
