RUSSELL — The Kansas Highway Patrol was involved in a high-speed chase on Interstate 70 on Monday night.

According to the KHP, just after 10 p.m., officers attempted to stop a 2015 Chevy Tahoe with Texas tags traveling westbound in Ellsworth County.

The chase, which reached speeds in excess of 100 mph, began at the I-70/Kansas 156 junction when the driver allegedly failed to yield. After the chase ended in Russell County, one individual from the vehicle escaped on foot.

Officers began a search of the area, including using the Kansas Highway Patrol helicopter from Hays. After several hours, the search was discontinued.

A woman in the Tahoe — Breanna Meeks, 33, Arkansas — was arrested and is being held in the Ellsworth County jail on suspicion of felony fleeing and eluding.

On Tuesday, a search of the rural area continued and the incident remains under investigation.
