Pursuit, arrest, follow road rage report

(KAIR)--A 25-year-old man is in custody in connection with what the Leavenworth Police Chief is calling a potential road rage incident.

In a Facebook post Monday afternoon, Police Chief Pat Kitchens said his department received a call regarding a disturbance involving a weapon.

Officers responded, located the suspect vehicle, and a pursuit began, which traveled into Missouri.

It was there the Missouri Highway Patrol and Platte County Sheriff's Deputies joined the effort.

Crossing back into Kansas, the Kansas Highway Patrol became involved, and stop sticks, along with other unspecified measures, were used to disable the vehicle at I-435 and Wolcott Road.

The man was taken into custody a short time later.

His name is not immediately made public.

Kitchens said he was evaluated by medical personnel prior to being booked into custody.

The type of weapon reported to police has not been disclosed.
