A traffic stop that began in Fremont County late Friday night, resulted in a high-speed pursuit and the arrest by authorities in Missouri, of a Kansas man. Fremont County Sheriff Kevin Aistrope reports the Fremont County K9 unit tried to stop a 2010 Toyota Corolla at around 10:30-p.m., when the driver, 37-year old Dilip Kumar Agniotri, of Overland Park, KS, began an effort to elude the deputy.

The Corolla reached speeds of up to 100 miles per hour as deputies pursued it into Missouri, where they were able to bring the car to a stop around the 115 mile marker of Interstate 29. Fremont County Deputies were assisted in the pursuit by Officers with the Rockport (MO.) Police Department, Missouri State Patrol, and Atchinson County (MO.) Sheriff’s Office.

Agniotri was cited for the Iowa traffic violations before being turned over to Atchinson County authorities.
