GOVE COUNTY — Law enforcement authorities are investigating a suspect after a chase early Thursday on Interstate 70 in Gove County.

Just after 7 a.m., a man later identified as Abron R. Dunston, Jr. 36, Norfolk, VA, pulled into the parking lot of the Golden Plains Credit Union in Quinter, according to Gove County Sheriff Allan Weber.&nbsp;

 The driver pulled the 2019 Nissan passenger vehicle up to a woman arriving for work and demanded she give up her purse. When the victim refused, Dunston drove away.

Law enforcement responded to the report and KHP troopers picked up the chase on westbound Interstate 70 near the Grinnell exit.&nbsp; 

The Nissan continued into Thomas County where Dunston drove through the median and then westbound in the eastbound lanes of I-70 at speeds of 110 miles per hour, according to Heilman. Dunston also avoided two attempts by law enforcement to use stop sticks.

Dunston then traveled back through the median to the westbound lanes, lost control of the Nissan in a ditch and crashed through a KDOT fence between the Sleep Inn and Walmart in Colby, according to Heilman.

When Dunston, who was not seriously injured, refused to exit the vehicle, officers used a K9 to help them make an arrest, according to Sheriff Weber.

Dunston was treated for minor injuries will be jailed in Thomas County on requested charges that include the stolen vehicle, felony flee and elude and a weapons possession violation charge, according to Heilman.

KANSAS CITY (AP) — A Kansas City man was charged Wednesday with first-degree murder after he allegedly stabbed another man at a park and then intentionally ran over the victim.

Corey Darden was also charged with first-degree robbery and two counts of armed criminal action in the death of Felipe Carillo, 41, of Kansas City, on Monday at Blue Valley Park.

Officers who were responding to a report of a pedestrian being hit and killed by a vehicle found Carillo dead. Witnesses told police Carillo had been stabbed during a fight with another man and when he tried to flee, the suspect intentionally ran him over, according to court documents.

Darden was arrested after he wrecked the Jeep.

Darden is being held at the Jackson County Detention Center. Prosecutors have requested a $500,000 cash bond.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Kansas City police have identified a man investigators believe was intentionally run down in a fatal hit-and-run crash.

Felipe Carillo, 41, of Kansas City, was killed in the Monday afternoon crash in the city’s Blue Valley Park, police said in a news release late Tuesday.

The crash happened around 3:30 p.m. Monday, when officers responded to reports of a crash involving a man who was hit by a vehicle. Police said the man, later identified at Carillo, died at the scene.

The driver of the vehicle left the scene and abandoned the vehicle a short distance later, police said. Investigators said initial evidence indicated the collision was an intentional act, and the case was turned over to the department's homicide unit.

Update: Man charged with murder for hit-and-run at KC park

COWLEY COUNTY — A Kansas felon wanted in connection with a fatal shooting has turned himself in.

Shooting suspect, Christopher Robert Henry, 37, of Wichita, turned himself in about 5 p.m. Tuesday at the Arkansas City Police Department, according to a media release. 

Last week, police issued a warrant for his arrest and asked the public for help to locate him.

Just before 1p.m. April 3, police responded to the 700 block of North B Street in Arkansas City for a report of shots fired. Before officers arrived on the scene, the individuals involved in the incident allegedly left.

A short time later, officers located and stopped a vehicle in the 28000 block of U.S. 77 Bypass. Police learned that one of the vehicle’s passengers, Jonathan Martinez, 28, of Arkansas City, had sustained an apparent gunshot wound to his abdomen.

Martinez was transported by the Arkansas City Fire-EMS Department to South Central Kansas

Medical Center. He was transported by air ambulance to a Wichita hospital, where he later died.

Henry and Martinez knew each other, and police said this was not a random shooting or “road rage.”

Henry is being held in the Cowley County Jail on requested charges that include intentional second-degree murder and criminal discharge of a firearm at an occupied vehicle. His bond is set at $500,000 bond, according to police.&nbsp;

COWLEY COUNTY— Law enforcement authorities continue to investigate a fatal shooting and are asking the public for help to locate the suspect.

The victim in the shooting&nbsp; identified as Jonathan Martinez, 28, Arkansas City,&nbsp; died from the gunshot wound he sustained after being transported by air ambulance Friday afternoon to a Wichita hospital.

The investigation has identified the shooting suspect as Christopher Robert Henry, 37, of Wichita, according Police Chief Dan Ward.

“We believe Henry is no longer in our community and is likely in the Wichita area,” said Ward.

“A warrant for Hentry's arrest has been obtained and we are working with the Wichita Police department to locate him. Henry should be considered armed and dangerous.”

Henry and Martinez knew each other, and Ward said this was not a random shooting or “road rage.”

The Arkansas City Police Department was able to identify Henry quickly due to the teamwork and assistance of the public and several other law enforcement agencies, including the Cowley County Sheriff’s Office, Kansas Highway Patrol and Wichita Police Department. He has a previous conviction for aggravated battery in Lyon County, according to the Kansas Department of Corrections.

Anyone with information on Henry’s whereabouts should immediately contact police.

70-year-old Kan. sex offender arrested for alleged rape

&nbsp;Tulsa, OK. (AP) — One Tulsa, Oklahoma, bar owner said more than a dozen motorcyclists showed up unannounced, but he served them a round of shots anyway to celebrate a birthday. Another live-streamed a drag queen show on Facebook while up to 20 people drank inside the locked bar, ignoring police when they knocked on the door.

Both were busted — and received misdemeanor citations and court dates — after police responded to tips that the bars were violating the mayor’s order shuttering all nonessential businesses to help slow the spread of the coronavirus.

“There has to be some consequence for violating an executive order,” said Tulsa Police Lt. Richard Meulenberg.

Snitches are emerging as enthusiastic allies as cities, states and countries work to enforce directives meant to limit person-to-person contact amid the virus pandemic that has claimed tens of thousands of lives worldwide. They’re phoning police and municipal hotlines, complaining to elected officials and shaming perceived scofflaws on social media.

In hard-hit New York City, police arrested the owner of an illegal Brooklyn speakeasy where a dozen people were found drinking and gambling after someone called 311 with a tip.

In Chicago, a yoga studio that believed it qualified as an essential health and wellness service was closed after the city — tipped off by several residents — disagreed. Teacher Naveed Abidi of Bikram Yoga West Loop studio said he thought the studio could remain open if the space was sanitized, class size limited and students stayed far enough apart.

“If we were naughty with the government’s order, then we’re very, very sorry” said Abidi, who faces a fine of up to $10,000. “We’re not here to cause problems, we’re here to practice our poses.”

For most people, the new virus causes only mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough. For some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia.

But the virus is spreading rapidly and starting to max out the health care system in several cities.

Naugatuck, Connecticut, resident Gwen Becker said she was “mortified” when she drove by a golf course and saw a crowd gathered around a food truck and eating at tables together. So she took a video that her friend posted on Facebook — prompting the mayor to shut down the course.

“I was angry and upset, and I threw some f-bombs,” said Becker, 54. “You’re not going to consider that what you’re doing could kill somebody?”

In some places, investigators are patrolling the streets, looking for violators.

A team enforcing Denver’s shelter-in-place order issued five citations — including to Hobby Lobby and a Game Stop franchise that claimed it was essential — and more than 600 warnings to businesses and individuals as of Tuesday, city spokesman Alton Dillard said. The team also patrols neighborhoods, parks and recreation areas. Hobby Lobby has now closed all their stores.

Meulenberg said the department’s call volume has increased substantially with residents ratting out businesses and neighbors alike, though they can’t respond to all of them.“The fact that we have to do this at all means some people are not interested in self-preservation” or protecting others, Meulenberg said. “We’re not immunologists. We’re not scientists. We’re cops. We’re just trying to do our part.”
