A chase in a stolen vehicle led to one arrest in Hays on Sunday night.
At 10:22 p.m. Sunday, the Hays Police Department was dispatched to the 200 block of Circle Drive after someone entered a resident's vehicle, according to Hays Assistant Chief of Police Brian Dawson.
As a Hays Police Department officer arrived on scene, the suspect fled in a vehicle.
The suspect then drove west on 27th Street, ultimately turning onto the drive south toward Meadow Acres. He left the roadway turning into the field and driving through a fence.
"He wound up stopping in that pond in the field in the 1400 block of West 27th Street," Dawson said.
Jorge Perea-Garcia, 20, was arrested without further incident on suspicion of burglary, flee or attempt to elude, reckless driving, possession of stolen property, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, theft, and operating a vehicle without a valid license.
The vehicle Perea-Garcia was driving was later found to have been reported stolen in Trego County.
