Crash leads to charges
Allen County sheriff’s deputies arrested Michael J. Harding, 40, Topeka, following a two-vehicle accident on U.S. 169 northeast of Iola Nov. 15.
Deputies said Harding attempted to pass a semitractor-trailer on the right, when he lost control of his vehicle, which collided with the semi.
Upon further investigation, deputies said Harding reportedly threw a bottle of urine at the semi while he was attempting to pass.
The semi driver’s name was not released.
Charges pursued after pursuit
Allen County sheriff’s deputies and Humboldt police officers assisted with a vehicle pursuit originating in Chanute Nov. 12.
The suspect struck a Humboldt Police Department vehicle and then fled on 2200 Street north of Humboldt during the chase.
The vehicle was later found crashed on Minnesota Road, about four miles east of Allen County Airport, having apparently struck a deer, after which the occupants fled on foot.
The identity of the occupants was known, deputies said, and information has been forwarded to the Allen County attorney’s office for possible charges.
