    Junction City Police say all three suspects involved in a Wednesday night pursuit and subsequent manhunt are in custody.

    Deputies arrested 23-year-old Desmond Gragston and 23-year-old Derrick Givens, both of Kentucky, Thursday morning without incident. Both are charged with felony possession and distribution charges and interference with law enforcement. They are being held in the Geary County Jail.

    The pair had fled on foot, along with 24-year-old Robeon Downs, also of Kentucky, when their vehicle became disabled on I-70 near McDowell Creek Road just before midnight Thursday. Downs faces similar charges and is also charged with felony flee and elude in addition to a handful of traffic violations stemming from the pursuit.

    Police say a search of the suspect vehicle found 84 pounds of marijuana and over $18,000 in cash.

    The incident remains under investigation.
