At Lawrence Municipal Airport on Tuesday morning, Kansas Highway Patrol troopers arrested a man wanted by the FBI in connection with a November bank robbery in Gladstone, Mo., troopers said.

The suspect, a 25-year-old Olathe man, crashed a stolen car at 7:30 a.m. on the Interstate 70 bridge over the Kansas River near Lawrence and ran toward the airport, troopers said.

Later, staff members at the airport called police because the man looked suspicious, Trooper Mark Christesen said.

“They did the right thing, as far as alerting local authorities,” he said.

The suspect showed up at the airport and had asked for a taxi to drive him to Topeka when Master Trooper Dennis Tate surprised the suspect from behind and arrested him, Christesen said.

The man was booked Tuesday into the Douglas County Jail on the federal warrant and two other Missouri warrants, Christesen said.

Apparently, the suspect paid a toll at the East Lawrence turnpike exit, but then he got back on the turnpike to head west in a Chevrolet Aveo, which investigators believe he had stolen in an overnight burglary in Kansas City, Mo., Christesen said.

On the bridge, the suspect drifted too close to the left rail, swerved to the right then back to the left when the car crashed into the bridge rail and rolled over, Christesen said. The suspect then ran from the crash, after he suffered a bloody nose and lip from the deployment of the air bag, troopers said.

He later was arrested in the airport. Lawrence police and Douglas County Sheriff’s officers assisted in the search.

In addition to the outstanding warrants, the suspect also could face charges of obstruction, failure to report an accident, no driver’s license, possession of stolen property, possession of drug paraphernalia and an open container and other traffic offenses, Christesen said.

Investigators believe he had alcohol in his system but less than the legal limit, and troopers found a small amount of cash in his pockets and no weapons, Christesen said.

Calls to an FBI spokesman Tuesday were not returned.
