Shortly after 1:00am this morning a Butler Police Officer observed a white male who was known to the officer to have a Felony Probation and Parole Warrant walking out of Bear Stop Gas Station on West Ft. Scott Street.
When officers attempted to make contact with the subject who later was identified at 24 year George O. Ratje of Butler he took off running from officers on foot.
A short chase ensued and Ratje was taken into custody in the parking lot of the Immanuel Baptist Church off of Prospect Street.
Mr. Ratje was booked into the Bates County Jail and other charges are pending at this time.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Verizon is buying Yahoo for $4.83 billion, marking the end of an era for a company that once defined the internet.
The sale announced Monday marks the second time in two years that Verizon has snapped up the remains of a fallen internet star as it broadens its digital reach. The nation's largest wireless carrier paid $4.4 billion for AOL last year.
Verizon won the Yahoo bidding after a five-month auction.
Yahoo Inc. is parting with its email service and websites devoted to news, finance and sports in addition to its advertising tools under pressure from shareholders fed up with a steep downturn in the company's revenue during the past eight years.
The deal is expected to close in 2017's first quarter.
