(KAIR)--What’s reported as a short pursuit ends with the arrest of a McClouth man.
According to a news release issued by Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie, it happened Saturday night, shortly before 11:00, when deputies attempted to stop a vehicle that Laurie says was driven by 24-year-old Daniel Winkler.
Winkler allegedly refused to stop, leading to the pursuit that ended on a low maintenance road in the 19000 block of 234th Road, in rural Atchison County.
It was there, Laurie says, that Winkler was attempting to hide from the pursuing deputies.
Winkler was arrested on charges of fleeing and attempting to elude and transporting an open container. He was also cited for speed and operating a vehicle without registration.
Following his arrest, Winkler was booked into the Atchison County Jail.
He is currently free on a $1,000 bond.
