A man is in custody Monday after leading Topeka police and Kansas Highway Patrol officers on an hour-long foot chase in southwest Topeka.
Officers got a call about a suspicious car in the 3400 block of S.W. Gage Boulevard, said Topeka Police Sgt. Kelly Roberts.
“He was sitting in a car in someone’s driveway when officers approached,” Kelly said.
Roberts said officers asked the man to turn off the vehicle and step out. As officers prepared to search him, he took off on foot.
Kansas Highway Patrol helicopter and K-9 units were dispatched.
After an hour, the man was apprehended by a K-9 unit in the 3500 block of S.W. Mission.
The man was transported by an American Medical Response ambulance to a local hospital.
Kelly said the investigation is ongoing, and officers don’t know why the man ran from authorities.
Story of my life........ this kind of stuff just seems to find the Ummels. That is right in front of Jessica and Michele's duplex. Jessica was at work. Michele heard the hollering.... "I've got you covered!" As Michele left for work, this guy was laying in the driveway with 6 Topeka Police cars surrounding. As she walked to her car, she asked what happened. But of course they couldn't tell her. The news crew asked her what happened.......
