FINNEY COUNTY – Law enforcement authorities in Finney County are investigating a suspect on various charges after a pursuit in a residential area.

Just before 10:30 p.m. on Thursday officers of the Garden City Police Department received a tip from “TIP 411” advising the possible location of a suspect Emmanuel Holguin, 20, Garden City, wanted on an active warrant from the Kansas Department of Corrections, according to a media release.

When officers responded to the residence in the 900 block of N 9th they saw a green Saturn S-Series flee the area recklessly.

Officers attempted a traffic stop but the vehicle refused to stop and a pursuit was initiated in the 1100 block of N 9th Street.

During the pursuit the suspect vehicle attempted to intentionally crash into police vehicles on several occasions. The suspect vehicle became mechanically disabled in the 1600 block of W Jenny Street and the driver fled on foot.

Police were able to identify the driver as Holguin after talking with a cooperative female passenger in the suspect vehicle.

Officers eventually located him hiding on top of a roof of a residence in the 1600 block of W Jenny Street and arrested him without incident.

No injuries or property damage sustained during the pursuit.

Holguin is being held in the Finney County Jail on the requested charges of:
Aggravated Assault on a Law Enforcement Officer (x3) Interference with a Law Enforcement Officer (F) Fleeing and Eluding (F)
Kidnapping
Reckless Driving Multiple Traffic Violations
