JACKSON COUNTY — Law enforcement authorities are investigating a Kansas woman on numerous charges following a high-speed chase.

Just before 8:30p.m. Tuesday, a Sheriff’s Deputy attempted to stop a northbound Pontiac G-6 driven by Rachel Dawn Hudson, 41, of Atchison County at 302 Road in Jackson County for an alleged speeding infraction. 

The vehicle failed to yield to the deputy and continued northbound into Brown County.  A Brown County deputy deployed a tire deflation device which deflated two tires on the vehicle. 

The vehicle eventually came to a stop several miles north of the Powhattan exit on US Hwy 75. 

Brown County Sheriff’s Office, Kickapoo Tribal Police and the Kansas Highway Patrol assisted with Hudson’s arrest.  She was transported to the Jackson County Jail where she faces charges for driving under the influence, fleeing and eluding a law enforcement officer, transporting and open container.

Hudson is well known to Kansas law enforcement. She was arrested and brought back from Iowa following the Kevin Stanley murder in January 2013. 

Following a joint sting with the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office and U. S. Marshals, Hudson was found with three others. The murder suspect Lloyd Wabaunsee and Desiree Shopteese were found wrapped in blankets and hiding in the trunk of Hudson’s vehicle in Urbandale, Iowa. 

Hudson, Aaron Lofton, Shopteese and Wabaunsee were all extradited back to Kansas.  Hudson has had other contacts with law enforcement since that time.  She was convicted for Obstructing apprehension/prosecution; person with a felony, according to the Kansas Department of Corrections.
