A 22-year-old Fort Riley Soldier remains confined in Riley County Jail following a police chase through the Manhattan city limits on Sunday.

The incident occurred at approximately 3 p.m. Sunday. Riley County Police were attempting to pull over Andrew Brenneman on Poyntz Avenue after making an improper turn from 14th Street in Manhattan. Brenneman continued traveling on Poyntz on his 2002 yellow Suzuki motorcycle at speeds up to 70 miles per hour.

Brenneman, a Junction City resident, then led police onto Fort Riley Boulevard and K-18 Highway while weaving in and out of traffic lanes. Riley County Police stopped their pursuit when Brenneman turned onto Wildcat Creek Road.

The Kansas Highway Patrol picked up the pursuit near Scenic Drive before pulling Brenneman over on Interstate 70 near mile marker 306.

Brenneman was arrested by KHP officials and transferred to the Riley County Jail.  He was charged on suspicion of fleeing and attempting to elude, reckless driving, driving with a cancelled/suspended/revoked license, and unlawful acts involving a motor vehicle.

His bond was set at $10,000; $5,000 from RCPD and $5,000 from KHP.
