DICKINSON COUNTY -An attempt at a routine traffic stop resulted in a two county, multiple agency pursuit and arrest on Tuesday in Dickinson County.

Deputies initially attempted a routine traffic stop in Junction City when the suspect attempted to flee southbound on Franklin Street near Chestnut Street, according to Geary County Undersheriff Brad Clark.

“We just pursued him from there through the city limits out on Goldenbelt and over on Liberty Hall in to Dickinson County.”

Kansas Highway Patrol Trooper Ben Gardner said the KHP took a primary role and took charge of the pursuit as it traveled into Dickinson County.

“At 4 pm Tuesday, the Kansas Highway Patrol was notified of a pursuit starting with Geary County law enforcement of a vehicle failing to yield going westbound on Kansas18 highway, according to Gardner.

Our troopers became involved and took a primary role and took over the pursuit as it continued into Dickinson County. The driver was driving very erratic and at some point was driving through fields and then finally stopping the vehicle, got out and run off on foot near Sage Road and 2800 Road in Dickinson County, north of Chapman.

From that moment when the person took off on foot, troopers established a perimeter and requested area canine units from our agency and our aircraft unit to respond to further assist in the recovery of this fleeing individual. Just after 5:00 our troopers were able to identify and locate the individual to place him in to custody, and to transport him then to Dickinson County for pending charges.”

Benjamin Joseph Jacquet, 18, of rural Dickinson County was booked in to the Dickinson County Jail on the following alleged charges: Flee or attempt to eldue; avoid tire deflating device, Aggravated assault of a law enforcement officer, Aggravated assault, Possession of stimulant, Interference w/LEO;misdemeanor obstruction/resist, Driving while license cancelled/suspended/revoked.
