From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Sept. 20, 1971:

Describing their quarry as “a real squirrel,” Douglas County deputy sheriffs and other local law-enforcement officials had just concluded a three-and-a-half-hour morning search for “some joker” on the Kansas Turnpike. Having first appeared at about 1:00 a.m. at the east Topeka interchange without a turnpike ticket, the Tulsa, Okla., man had turned around, striking a highway divider, and headed south toward Emporia without his lights on. Arriving half an hour later at the Emporia service area on the turnpike inquiring “how to get to Kansas City on I-35,” the man eluded officers again by running the turnpike exit. Police were unable to locate the man in Emporia. He was next seen again at the service area, again asking for directions to Kansas City. He then left the service area (driving north in the southbound lane) with troopers in pursuit. The man was finally apprehended about 4:30 a.m. by the Lyon County deputy sheriff and remained in jail in Emporia this morning, facing charges for “numerous things.”
