SHAWNEE COUNTY- Law enforcement authorities in Shawnee County are looking for the driver who fled a Monday morning chase.
Just before 1:30 a.m., police responded to a report of a Chrysler 300 traveling near the intersection of 17th and Belle in Topeka with a flat passenger side front tire, according to a media release.
The driver failed to stop at two red lights. Police located the vehicle at 17th and Gage and attempted a traffic stop. The vehicle sped away and police, considering the driver had already run two red lights and could be a danger to the public, decided to pursue the vehicle.
Further south on Gage, the driver fled the vehicle on foot. The suspect is described as a black male wearing khaki pants and a blue and white tank top. A K-9 unit was unable to locate the suspect.
An investigation indicated the vehicle was stolen, according to police.
