Christopher Horton/Credit: Atchison Co Sheriff's Office
(KAIR)--An Atchison man is facing charges after allegedly fleeing from an Atchison County Sheriff's Deputy who attempted to stop him for allegedly driving more than 100 mph.
Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie, in a release, says 19-year-old Christopher Horton faces charges for operating a vehicle without ignition interlock device, operating a motor vehicle without a valid license, reckless driving, and flee or attempt to elude a law enforcement officer, along with multiple infractions.
Laurie says Horton was spotted around 9:15 Monday night by the deputy in the area of U.S. Highway 73 and Rooks Road. Horton allegedly fled the scene, leaving the highway to go west on 262nd Road.
Although the deputy lost sight of the vehicle and terminated the pursuit, he located it a short time later near 262nd and Haskell Roads. Identifying the driver as Horton after the vehicle was found, he was located later and arrested in the 700 block of Atchison's 9th Street.
According to Laurie, Horton was taken into custody without further incident and booked into the Atchison County Jail.
