Law enforcement report

¢ A man led Kansas Highway Patrol troopers on a short car and foot chase Sunday evening in the area near Lawrence Memorial Hospital.

Trooper Brandon Koch said he tried to pull over the suspect, a 31-year-old Lawrence man, for a minor traffic violation around 8 p.m. near Sixth and Louisiana streets. Instead, the man drove north. For a few minutes the trooper pursued the vehicle into the northern Lawrence neighborhood, Koch said. The suspect then stopped in the exit drive at Children’s Learning Center, 205 N. Mich. He then ran away, and Koch and a Lawrence police officer followed him.

Koch said a Lawrence resident actually apprehended the suspect, and officers gained custody of him. The man was arrested on felony traffic and drug charges, Koch said, and taken to the Douglas County Jail. No injuries were reported.

¢ A Lawrence police officer on Sunday morning arrested a 27-year-old Hutchinson man who has been wanted since July 11 by the Kansas Department of Corrections as a parole absconder in Sedgwick County. The man, Jeffery Shock, also was arrested on charges of disorderly conduct and interfering with duties of an officer, although details of the arrest were not available Sunday.

According to KDOC records, Shock has eight total felony convictions in Ford, Scott and Finney counties, ranging from burglary and theft to aggravated escape from custody.
