A man who led multiple area law enforcement agencies on a vehicle chase through three counties Friday evening is in custody, a law enforcement official confirmed.

The pursuit began at about 6:30 p.m. Friday after the man allegedly injured a Douglas County Sheriff’s Office deputy with his vehicle, said Lt. Steve Freeman with the sheriff’s office. The deputy, who was outside of his vehicle when the suspect’s car grazed him, was treated and released from a hospital the same day, Freeman said.

Multiple agencies were involved in the pursuit, including the Lawrence Police Department, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office and the Kansas Highway Patrol, said Capt. Steve Zarnowiec with the Lawrence Police Department.

The incident began when an LPD officer located the man, who had an arrest warrant for a parole violation, at the Airport Motel, 1493 U.S. Highway 40. Because that location is beyond the city limit, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office assisted the LPD, Zarnowiec said.

After allegedly injuring the deputy, the suspect fled in his vehicle, crashing it after a 30-minute pursuit that led law enforcement through Douglas, Shawnee and Jefferson counties, Zarnowiec said.

The suspect was apprehended following the crash, Freeman said. The suspect’s identity and the charges he is suspected of were not available Saturday evening. Freeman said the investigation is ongoing and that more information regarding the incident will be released on Monday.
