Law enforcement report

¢ A Lawrence man was arrested at the Lawrence Public Library Wednesday evening after wrecking his car and leading police on a foot chase through downtown.

The chase began when Lawrence Police attempted to pull a man over for speeding in the 2000 block of Massachusetts early Wednesday evening. The man fled, eventually crashing his car into a stop sign, a tree and another parked car near 13th and Connecticut streets.

He then ran from his crashed car through downtown, to the library where he was eventually arrested.

The man was arrested on charges of fleeing the scene of an accident, eluding law enforcement officers and other traffic violations. He also had warrants out for his arrest.

No one was injured during the incident.

¢ More than $1,000 cash disappeared mysteriously on Monday morning from an office at Royal Crest Lanes, 933 Iowa, according to a report released Wednesday.

The bowling alley’s owner told police he left his office inside the bowling alley about 11 a.m. Monday to fix a malfunctioning lane. When he came back to his office a few minutes later, $1,063 in cash had disappeared from a bank bag in the office. The only people in the business at the time were a business partner and three groups of bowlers, but Lawrence Police spokesman Detective David Anderson said no one has been identified yet as a suspect. The bowlers in the business at the time were cooperative with police and said they didn’t see anything unusual, Anderson said.
