According to a release from Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, 40-year-old Charles Walker was arrested Thursday in the 300 block of U.S. 59 on allegations connected to the pursuit, driving while suspended, and on a State of Missouri warrant for a prbobation violation.
Wilson says an officer on patrol spotted Walker driving a vehicle at 10th and U.S. 59 and was aware of the outstanding Missouri warrant. Police say the officer attempted to stop the vehicle, but it continued east on U.S. 59 into Missouri.
Later that night, Wilson says the officer saw the same vehicle westbound on the Amelia Earhart Bridge and stopped it near 4th and U.S. 59. Police say Walker, found at that time to be a passenger rather than the driver of the vehicle, was taken into custody.
Following his arrest, Walker was booked into the Atchison County Jail.
