A high-speed chase Saturday on the Kansas Turnpike ended with the arrest of a Colorado man after he crashed his pickup at a Lawrence interchange.

Yevgeniy Straystar, 24, of Thornton, Colo., was taken to the Leavenworth County Jail after the chase on Interstate 70. Leavenworth County Undersheriff James Sherley said Straystar was charged with felony fleeing and eluding and a felony charge of possession of a weapon as a convicted felon. He remained in custody Monday.

Lt. Mark Christensen, of the Kansas Highway Patrol, said Straystar was arrested for an incident that started as a hit and run on Interstate 70 near the Kansas Highway 7 interchange in Wyandotte County. A KHP trooper who had been alerted to look for a black pickup hauling a trailer involved in the incident spotted the westbound vehicle as it passed the Lawrence Turnpike service area, he said.

The trooper stopped the driver. Christensen said Straystar was noncompliant and drove off during the stop. The ensuing chase at speeds near 100 mph ended when Straystar ran over stop spikes laid out by another trooper east of the turnpike’s McDonald Drive interchange, Christensen said. McDonald exited at the interchange, went through the median at the interchange’s roundabout and crashed in the roundabout’s west ditch, he said.

Christensen said two firearms were found in Straystar’s vehicle. Straystar was believed to have had his hand on one of the weapons tucked between the driver’s and passenger’s seat while talking to the trooper during the traffic stop, Christensen said.

The charges against Straystar were filed in Leavenworth County because that is where Saturday’s chase started, Christensen said.

It wasn’t clear on Monday what the underlying felony conviction was that led to the felon in possession of a gun charge.
