JACKSON COUNTY, Kan.—Law enforcement authorities are investigating a wanted Kansas man after a traffic stop arrest.

Just after 11:30p.m. Oct. 6, a sheriff’s deputy conducted a traffic stop near 118th and U.S. Highway 75 for a traffic violation, according to Sheriff Tim Morse. During the scope of the stop, it was believed the driver was providing false information about his identity.

A possible ID was discovered for the subject, Michael E Burris III, 35, of Wichita, who had a nationwide extraditable warrant for aggravated assault, distribution of opiates and numerous other charges out of Reno, County.

The subject’s identity was confirmed to be Burris. Deputies transported him to the Jackson County Jail and booked him on requested charges of felony interference for providing false information.
