GEARY COUNTY — Law enforcement authorities are investigating a reported vehicle theft and have a suspect in custody.

Just after 3 p.m. Thursday, deputies had responded to the 1700 Block of West Ash Street in Junction City after a victim reported that a Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck was stolen from that area.

A Geary County Sheriff’s Deputy saw the vehicle within a few minutes and attempted a traffic stop.  The driver later identified as Terrell Kimbrough, 28, Junction City, fled and led deputies onto the Interstate 70 eastbound.

The chase ended at McDowell Creek Road at the end of what Sheriff’s Department Captain Brian Hornaday termed a “low-speed pursuit.”

Authorities used stop sticks to deflate the tires of the vehicle.

A Geary County Sheriff’s Office K-9 was also used to assist in the apprehension and Interstate 70 was closed briefly during the arrest.

Kimbrough is being held for aggravated robbery and aggravated battery, according to the sheriff’s department.
