PITTSBURG, Kan. Two local men were arrested Sunday in separate incidents in which they allegedly fled from Pittsburg police officers who attempted to pull them over.
The first incident occurred at approximately 4:30 p.m., when a police officer attempted to stop a Dodge Ram pickup in the 200 block of North Rouse Street for an observed moving violation, according to a Pittsburg Police Department press release.
The vehicle allegedly failed to yield and began to flee by pulling through the Whistle Stop Car Wash at 316 N. Rouse St. and the parking lot of the Snak Atak gas station at 1101 E. 4th St. The pickup then allegedly continued back onto 4th and then onto Rouse, where it began to head southbound to 2nd Street, where it turned left and then right on Fairview Street, then turned left on 1st Street and continued east to Water Street, until it finally came to a stop in the 100 block
