TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) Topeka police say an Indiana fugitive is jailed after leading police on two brief car chases.
Topeka police Lt. Ron Gish says Jamie Allen Sigman, 38, of Topeka was arrested Wednesday and faces several felony and traffic charges. Gish says Sigman had a fugitive justice warrant issued for him in Indiana, and a warrant with the city of Topeka, but he didn’t know what the warrants were for.
Gish says the chase began when officers tried to stop a pickup, which sped off and crashed into a curb. A passenger jumped out but the driver drove off again, only to collide with pickup about a mile away. The driver tried to flee on foot but was arrested.
The Topeka Capital-Journal reports the pickup truck driver suffered only minor injuries.
