High Speed Chase Leads To Man’s Arrest In Edwards County

by Fred Gough ~ Hutch Post

A 31-year-old man led a car chase with speeds reaching over 100 mph across three counties Thursday.

According to police, it started with the report of a car being stolen in Wichita, and was apparently spotted on Main Street in South Hutchinson. Attempts to stop the driver led to the chase starting with several law enforcement agencies involved.

The chase traveled through South Hutchinson to U-S 50, where the suspect then continued west going through Stafford County, and then into Edwards County. Authorities attempts to use stop sticks were unsuccessful. But, the chase did finally stop in Edwards County near Kinsley.

Speeds topped 110-miles-per-hour according to officials.

Arrested was 31-year-old Timothy Hartsell. He’s currently being held in the Edwards County jail on numerous charges.
