Barton Co. search for Oregon suspect ends
GREAT BEND, Kan. (AP) Authorities have searched in central Kansas for a man wanted for a parole violation in Oregon.
Barton County Undersheriff Larry Holliday says 30-year-old Michael Aaron Jayne is wanted by U.S. Marshals. The Hutchinson News reported that Barton County officials have alerted residents around the Cheyenne Bottoms area to keep their eyes out for Jayne.
He is accused of leading officers on a high-speed chase in Rooks County Thursday night. On Friday night, a vehicle reported stolen from Rooks County was recovered in the Cheyenne Bottoms area.
Multiple law enforcement agencies have been involved in the search, bringing in aircraft and even police dogs. Authorities now believe that Jayne is no longer in the area and the search has been called off.
