TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Authorities say a fleeing Kansas motorist has been arrested after driving to his own home and trying to sneak inside.

The man drove off Wednesday night when a Shawnee County deputy attempted to pull him over. The five-minute, slow-speed pursuit ended at the man’s home.

Sheriff’s officials said the suspect Eric Whetstone, 40, was booked into the Shawnee County Jail in connection with multiple offenses, including felony fleeing or attempting to elude an officer, possession of stolen property and interference with a law enforcement officer.

He has previous convictions in Shawnee County for drugs, robbery and forgery, according to the Kansas Department of Corrections.
