A 20-year old Kansas City, Kan. man was arrested early Sunday morning after a Lawrence police officer attempted to make a traffic stop in North Lawrence, which led to a high speed chase.

The officer attempted to stop a maroon 2014 Dodge Avenger in the area of North Second Street and North Street around 1:30 a.m. The driver of the car refused to stop and accelerated towards the turnpike.

Radio traffic indicates the pursuit went eastbound on Interstate 70 with speeds ranging from 75 to 120 miles per hour.

A Kansas Turnpike Authority Trooper was able to get stop sticks out in front of the suspect vehicle just before it reached Kansas Highway 7 in eastern Leavenworth County.

The Trooper told his dispatcher that he hit the driver’s side tires of the suspect vehicle with the stop sticks.

Radio traffic from the Lawrence officer who was chasing the vehicle stated that his patrol vehicle was also hit by the stop sticks and that speeds had decreased to only 75 miles per hour.

The suspect vehicle stopped about one mile east of the Kansas Highway 7 interchange in western Kansas City, Kan. at about 1:45 a.m.. Sgt. Amy Rhoads of the Lawrence Police Department said the suspect was arrested there without incident. According to radio traffic, no one else was inside the vehicle.

Rhoads identified the suspect only as a 20-year old Kansas City, Kan. man. Douglas County Jail booking logs show Delshon Lamont Dupriest, 20, of Kansas City, Kan., was booked into jail at 3:16 a.m. after his arrest on I-70- in Kansas City, Kan. He was booked on suspicion of committing five or more traffic violations while fleeing and eluding law enforcement officers, driving a vehicle with improper registration, driving with a suspend license (second violation) and driving with no vehicle liability insurance.
