Kansas man arrested after Sunday morning chase

police chaseHUTCHINSON— A Reno County man is free on bond after he led law enforcement on a high-speed chase early Sunday morning.

Law enforcement authorities reported deputies attempted to stop a Chevy Blazer allegedly driven by Donald Mayer, 46, for failing to signal a turn and also for an obstructed license plate.

Mayer refused to stop and led officers from the Sheriff’s Department, Hutchinson Police, and South Hutchinson Police on a chase that lasted an hour and 24 minutes.

At one point, the chase went as far south as Yoder, but then returned back to the Hutchinson area.

Authorities say they were unsuccessful deploying tire deflation devices. The driver avoided them each time.

The chase finally ended when Mayer pulled into the west parking lot of the Law Enforcement Center and surrendered without incident.

He was arrested for felony flee and elude, an unregistered vehicle and no proof of insurance.

Mayer is expected to make a court appearance within the next week.
