Junction City Police were involved in a vehicle chase early Friday morning involving a stolen vehicle from Manhattan.

JCPD Detective Lieutenant Jeff Childs said the call came in just after 3 am Friday.

“One of our officers went to do a traffic stop on a vehicle. The vehicle attempted to elude our officer. The subject exited the vehicle and ran. Upon further investigation they contacted the owner of the vehicle, who said that her vehicle should be at home, but it wasn’t so she reported it stolen at that time,” said Childs.

The owner of the vehicle, a 2002 PT Cruiser, was listed as Katroya Jones, 21, of Manhattan.

Childs went on to say that a short time later the subject was located and arrested. Kameron D. Hayes, 24, of Junction City was arrested on suspicion of possession of a stolen vehicle, driving without headlights, driving while suspended, and fleeing and eluding.
