Kansas Highway Patrol troopers arrested two Topeka residents after a high-speed car chase from Topeka to Lawrence on Interstate 70 early Saturday morning, said KHP Lt. Phil Bostian.

The chase began just after midnight after a trooper noticed a car with a poorly affixed license plate at the east Topeka toll plaza, Bostian said. The trooper ran the plate, and found that it was not registered to the car, he said.

When the trooper attempted to stop the car, around mile post 183 on the Kansas Turnpike, the car sped up and attempted to flee, reaching speeds greater than 100 miles per hour, Bostian said.

The car attempted to exit at the West Lawrence exit at mile post 202, and ran into a ditch, he said. Three passengers were in the car, and two got out and started to flee on foot, Bostian said, and were quickly apprehended. The third passenger did not attempt to run from officers, he said, and was not arrested.

A Taser was used on one of the men, who was resisting arrest, he said. No injuries were reported from the Taser use or from the car driving off the road, Bostian said.

The driver, a 23-year-old Topeka man, was arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated, a felony fleeing and eluding charge and seven outstanding warrants, Bostian said.

The front seat passenger, also a 23-year-old Topeka man, was arrested on suspicion of obstructing legal process.
