BROWN COUNTY —Law enforcement captured a wanted suspect after a chase across two counties.
Just after 7:30p.m. Feb. 14, sheriff's deputies identified a driver of a 2011 Dodge Charger as Andrew Davis. Davis had a Felony Failure to Appear Warrant out of Doniphon County, according to Brown County Sheriff John Merchant.
When the deputy got out of his vehicle to approach Davis, he immediately fled the area hitting an occupied Brown County Deputy's vehicle and nearly striking the approaching officer.
Brown County Deputies as well as Horton Police pursued Davis east on Highway 73. While nearing Atchison, their police department was successful in deploying stop sticks which disabled one of the tires on the Davis vehicle.
The pursuit continued east over the Missouri River bridge and continued through Weston and ended on Interstate 70 near 63rd Road in Kansas. At that time, a Kansas Highway Patrol Trooper initiated a TBI Pit Maneuver which pushed the Davis vehicle off of the roadway.
Davis was arrested and transported to the Brown County Sheriff's office on charges of the $15,000 Doniphon County Felony Falure to Appear Warrant and requested charges of Felony Flee to Elude; Aggravated Assault on a Law Enforcement Officer; Possession of Meth; Possession of Marijuana; Possession of Drug Paraphernalia and Drive While License Cancelled, Suspended or Revoked.
There were no serious injuries reported as a result of the chase and arrest, according to Merchant.
