While You Were Sleeping - Two Arrested After West Wichita Chase

Thursday, May 3, 2012

Before you head out the door, we like to catch you up with what happened while you were sleeping.

Two people are in jail after leading police officers and sheriff's deputies on a nearly half-hour-long chase through west Wichita early Thursday morning.

Sedgwick County Emergency Dispatchers tell KAKE News the chase started near Kellogg and Dugan about 1:25 a.m. That chase then moved through west Wichita, heading down Dugan, Pueblo and Hoover before continuing to the east.

The chase, which reportedly involved as many as 30 police cars and speeds up to 90 miles per hour, then moved through neighborhoods just to the west of Friends University.

It all finally came to an end about 1:45 a.m., when the car was stopped near Seneca and Stillwell and two people were taken into custody.
