A man who allegedly shot a convenience store clerk Wednesday morning in Pratt County, Kan. was arrested in Ellsworth County after a chase, according to the Kansas Highway Patrol.
Shortly before 8 a.m. KSHP said troopers tried to stop a vehicle on I-70 near Dorrance which matched the description of suspect vehicle.
“The vehicle and driver, Alex Deaton, were wanted out of Pratt County. Deaton did not stop and fled eastbound at a high rate of speed. Spike sticks were successfully deployed,” the patrol said in a statement. “After the vehicle crashed and caught on fire, Deaton was immediately placed under arrest with no further incident. There were no injuries to KHP personnel or to Deaton.”
The patrol said Deaton is a suspect wanted for a double homicide in the state of Mississippi, as well as other crimes in multiple states.
