Vernon County Sheriffs Office: Vehicle pursuit ends in foot pursuit, two in custody.

Stephanie Stafford

Two people are in custody today after a vehicle pursuit started in Nevada and ended in a foot pursuit in Kansas. A pickup driven by a suspect recognized as a felony revoked driver along with a passenger who had outstanding felony warrants refused to stop for authorities from the sheriff's office.

The truck ran from Nevada and eventually ended up in Kansas where both parties then fled into the woods. Sheriff's Office authorities pursued the suspects on foot into the woods where they were both apprehended. The passenger, who was arrested on no-bond felony warrants of possession of a controlled substance and forgery, has been identified as Stephanie Stafford, 26 of Nevada. The name of the driver has not yet been released pending the filing of formal charges.

Custody of the suspects was turned over to the Bourbon County Sheriff's Office and the Kansas State Police. Both subjects were taken to the Bourbon County Jail pending the filing of paperwork to have them brought back into Missouri.
