Earlier this morning, shortly after midnight, Deputies of the Wabaunsee County Sheriff’s officer were pursuing a blue Kenworth semi truck North on K-99. The truck then entered Pottawatomie County at Wamego.
The truck allegedly rammed and chased a pickup while in Shawnee County, rammed a car that had pulled off the road and then chased the car into a private residence’s yard.
The truck finally became stuck and was stopped while being pursued by Deputies from Wabaunsee County, Pottawatomie County and the Wamego Police Department.
The 55-year-old driver, Robert Smith of Salina, Kansas, was arrested at the scene and taken to the Pottawatomie County Jail.
