Probe continues following Saturday night pursuit

(KAIR)--The investigation continues into a dual law enforcement agency pursuit that was abandoned due to dangerous conditions.

According to a release from Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie, his agency’s Deputies assisted the Atchison Police Department in the vehicle pursuit shortly after 8:30 Saturday night.

Laurie, in the release, says Deputies discontinued the pursuit north of Atchison, on River Road, due in part to many pedestrians being in the area and low visibility due to dust produced by the suspect vehicle during the pursuit.

According to Laurie, the suspect driver was also positively identified during the pursuit prior to the discontinuation, but the name is not made public.

The investigation is ongoing.
