A Cherryvale man is arrested following a two day search by the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office.

Tuesday at around 10:00pm, a Montgomery County Sheriff's deputy attempted to stop Jeremiah McKenzie in Dearing while he was driving an ATV that had been reported stolen in Cherryvale. The Sheriff's Office says McKenzie refused to stop and fled, with deputies eventually losing sight of him. Another deputy spotted McKenzie north of Tyro operating the same ATV. Deputies say he again fled, drove onto private property, abandoned the ATV and ran into a nearby cornfield and wooded area. Deputies, assisted by a Kansas Highway Patrol drone, searched for several hours before suspending the search.  The search resumed yesterday morning after deputies received information that McKenzie had been spotted southwest of Independence. While responding, deputies also learned he may have stolen a side-by-side utility vehicle from a nearby residence. Deputies located McKenzie at another residence in the area and took him into custody without incident. Investigators later determined the side-by-side had been stolen from a nearby property.

McKenzie was booked into the Montgomery County Department of Corrections on charges including two counts of felony fleeing or attempting to elude law enforcement, burglary, two counts of felony theft, three counts of possession of stolen property, driving while suspended, and multiple traffic violations.
