Deputies were attempting to stop a truck for an equipment violation — and a pursuit ensued.
The vehicle was traveling at high rates of speed. It eventually came to a stop in the area of E. 103rd Ter. and Blue Ridge Blvd. at approximately 1:50 a.m. in Kansas City. This was after multiple deployments of tire deflation devices.
Once the vehicle came to a stop, its driver began to flee on foot — and a deputy was able to chase him down to make an arrest.
The suspect has since been identified as 42-year-old Ryan Flake of Grain Valley. Flake was taken into custody on several active warrants outside of Cass County.
The passenger, 30-year-old Christopher Holloway of Peculiar was taken into custody on an active warrant previously issued by the Peculiar Police Department.
Both men were transported to the Cass County Jail and are being held pending charges from Cass County prosecutors. The Peculiar - MO Police Department, Belton Missouri Police Department, Kansas City Missouri Police Department and Jackson County Sheriff's Office assisted with the apprehension of these suspects.
