Police believe they have developed a suspect involved in a high-speed pursuit through part of central Salina early Saturday morning.
An officer on patrol in the 600 block of S. Fifth Street at approximately 2:30 a.m. Saturday observed a red 1990 Chevrolet 1500 pickup with a white stripe headed northbound. When the driver did not use a turn signal when turning onto E. Prescott Avenue, the officer attempted a traffic stop, but the pickup took off and a pursuit ensued, Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning.
While headed north on Kenwood Park Drive, the pickup was driving up to 60 mph, he said. Due to unsafe speeds, the officer discontinued the pursuit in the 1500 block of Gypsum Avenue.
Forrester said officers have spoken with the owner of the pickup and believe they know who was driving it that night.
