Recorded radio traffic indicates an officer made a traffic stop in a driveway in the 4000 block of West 75th Street at 2:18 a.m. The suspect parked his vehicle in a driveway, then two men ran from the car.

The driver ran north into a backyard, while the passenger ran south across 75th Street.

Corporal Mark Brown of the Prairie Village Police Department confirms an officer made a traffic stop on a vehicle that was seen speeding on 75th Street, and two men ran from that vehicle.

"We got one person into custody that we believe to be the passenger," Cpl. Brown says. "The driver, we don't have in custody."

The passenger was arrested on the west side of Shawnee Mission East High School. The driver reportedly ran north, jumping fences into backyards. Corporal Brown says both men are younger black males.

"During the course of the foot chase, one of the officers did injure their knee," Cpl. Brown said.

The injured officer was evaluated on the scene by Johnson County Med-Act and then transported to an area hospital by a fellow officer. Corporal Brown says the injury is not believed to be serious.

A K-9 unit from the Olathe Police Department was brought in to assist with the search of backyards. Officers from Fairway, Mission, and Roeland Park also responded to assist in holding a perimeter for the K-9 search.
