HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Two people were arrested after they led police officers on a chase in the city.

Nicholas Karches and Michelle Sage face numerous charges after a Hutchinson man reported a burglary where 25 pairs of tennis shoes and other memorabilia were stolen. The owner estimates the items are valued around $4,000.

Later, police spotted a vehicle that matched the description of one stolen out of Wichita, but the driver refused to stop for police. That led to a chase for about 15 minutes. Police attempted to use stop sticks, but the driver went around them. Eventually, he collided with a police car at 11th & Halstead. Both suspects were taken into custody. The officer in the crash suffered minor injuries.

Police apparently found a pair of tennis shoes in the vehicle that matched a pair taken in the burglary. Officers did not find any of the other stolen items.

Charges against Karches include aggravated battery of a law enforcement officer, burglary of a dwelling, felony theft, simple theft and possession of stolen property, that being the Dodge Journey.

Sage faces similar charges, including possession of stolen property, theft and burglary.

Both will be back in court next week.
