(KAIR)--A traffic stop attempt turned into a pursuit in Brown County Friday night.

According to a release from Brown County Sheriff John Merchant, just after 10:10, deputies were dispatched on a reckless driver complaint involving a gray Dodge pickup headed west on U.S. 36 Highway east of Hiawatha.

Sheriff Merchant says a deputy spotted the truck near Mallard Road traveling at more than 85 miles per hour. When emergency lights were activated to initiate a stop, the driver reportedly accelerated and a chase began.

The pursuit continued west of Hiawatha for several miles, ending when the pickup stopped in the alley between 4th and 5th Street in Hiawatha. The driver, described as a male juvenile, then ran from the vehicle.

Sheriff Merchant says officers from Hiawatha Police, Kickapoo Police, and the Brown County Sheriff’s Office searched the area. Investigators later identified the juvenile, contacted people who knew him, and he was taken into custody without incident.

The juvenile is facing charges including felony flee to elude, felony obstruction, reckless driving, no insurance, no driver’s license, and speeding, with possible additional charges.
