(KAIR)--A weekend traffic stop attempt, in Atchison County, turns into a pursuit, with the teenage driver arrested after passing over the Leavenworth County line.
Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie, in a release, says the attempted stop was made around 1:30 Saturday morning when a deputy spotted the vehicle speeding on U.S. Highway 73, near 218 Road.
Instead of stopping, it's alleged the accused speeder drove off, fleeing from the scene southbound on the highway, which turned into a short pursuit.
Laurie says the driver, a 16-year-old, decided to stop south of the county line, in Leavenworth County, where they were taken into custody by the deputy.
The teen, whose name is not made public due to their age, was later released to an adult with a referral for the Juvenile intake process.
