Two people are in custody following a chase involving Riley County law enforcement authorities reported at about 6 p.m. Tuesday. Riley County Police Public Information Officer Matthew Droge tells KMAN the chase began at Mission Court in the northeast area of Manhattan and continued to the intersection of Tuttle Creek Boulevard and Bluemont.
Droge indicates the call initially came in as an aggravated assault involving a firearm, with stop sticks deployed to stop the vehicle safely. The TCB/Bluemont intersection was closed for about five to 10 minutes due to the possible weapon involvement.
Two people were taken into custody and more information will be available Wednesday morning. Droge tells KMAN the arrests were not connected to a Junction City case involving the discovery of a body earlier in the day.
