CLARK COUNTY —Law enforcement from three counties in southwest Kansas, the Kansas Highway Patrol and a muddy ditch helped capture a suspect who fled a traffic stop.
Over the weekend, a Clark County Sheriff’s deputy was conducting a traffic stop on a blue GMC Sierra, according to a social media report from the Kansas Highway Patrol
The driver of the pickup then fled from the stop and that prompted a vehicle pursuit.
Thanks to strong coordination and teamwork across Clark, Ford and Comanche Counties and the Kansas Highway Patrol, the suspect was taken into custody. The pursuit ended in Clark County east of Kansas Highway 34, south of Road M.
The Patrol wrote, "Public safety is our top priority, and we are proud to support our fellow law enforcement partners. Thank you to the teamwork of the communications teams for partnering as well, to ensure the safety of their officers. Always remember, fleeing adds charges…and we will catch you. "
The patrol did not release names of the suspect or possible requested charges.
