Jesse Tyler Brandon

(KAIR)--A Topeka man is jailed in Jackson County following what's described by Sheriff Tim Morse as a short pursuit in the southern portion of Jackson County.

Arrested Friday morning was 21-year-old Jesse Tyler Brandon. He was booked into the Jackson County Jail on charges of fleeing and eluding a law enforcement officer and reckless driving.

He's held on a $5,000 bond.

Morse says a deputy attempted to stop Brandon around 9:30 Friday morning for committing a traffic infraction on U.S. Highway 75, near Hoyt.

Instead, Morse says Brandon sped off behind the wheel of a Pontiac Grand Prix, eastbound on 102nd Road, with the pursuit ending north of 94th Road on T.4 Road, where he was taken into custody.
