JACKSON COUNTY —Law enforcement authorities are investigating three suspects following a chase in Jackson County.

Shortly after 9a.m. Monday a sheriff’s deputy observed a northbound black 2017 Lincoln MKZ passenger car with an expired registration, according to Jackson County Sheriff Time Morse.

The deputy attempted to initiate a car stop on the vehicle. The vehicle continued northbound near 142nd Road and allegedly nearly struck a northbound truck near 150th Road.

The vehicle traveled west at 174th Road and back to 75 Highway heading southbound at speeds in excess of 100mph, according to Morse.

A Shawnee County Deputy deployed a tire deflation device rupturing both passenger’s side tires of the suspect vehicle. The vehicle excited 75 Highway at 46th Street and attempted to re-enter the highway on the southbound onramp but came to a stop at that location. Troopers with the Kansas Highway Patrol, deputies with the Shawnee County Sheriff’s Office and the Mayetta Police Department assisted with the incident.

Three occupants were taken into custody. A quantity of methamphetamine was seized during the stop. The driver, Michael Gonzales, 32, of Topeka, was arrested for felony fleeing and eluding a law enforcement officer, reckless driving, operating a motor vehicle without a driver’s license. Gonzales also had an outstanding felony probation warrant from Osage County.
