HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Two people were arrested after a chase with law enforcement over the weekend.

It started just after 9 a.m. Sunday when a Hutchinson Police Officer was traveling on K-61 and recognized the driver of a vehicle as 22-year-old Clancy Nelson. The officer knew Nelson had numerous warrants. The officer attempted to make a traffic stop and the chase was on. Police say Nelson ran a number of traffic lights, stop signs and yield signs in Hutchinson.

The chase ended in the county when Nelson attempted to make a turn on Mayfield Road and lost control. The vehicle slid into a ditch. Nelson and his passenger, 22-year-old Arrianna Rucker, were both ordered from the vehicle.

Officers then did a search and located methamphetamine, marijuana and drug paraphernalia. They also found a black folding knife and 18” machete.

Potential charges against the two include possession of methamphetamine, marijuana, drug paraphernalia, criminal possession of a firearm and driving while suspended.

Nelson is also being held for a probation violation and failure to appear. He is also listed as an absconder from community corrections on a drug conviction.

His bonds total $12,750. He’ll be back in court next week.

Rucker apparently posted bond and she’ll be in court later this week.
