Two Arrested After Standoff on Interstate 35 in Johnson County
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A lengthy standoff in Johnson County led to the arrest of two individuals and the closure of a section of Interstate 35 on Thursday night. The situation unfolded shortly after the suspects were implicated in a theft at a QuikTrip located at 95th Street, near the interstate.
According to Officer Danny Chavez from the Lenexa Police Department, when officers attempted to apprehend the suspects, they fled onto I-35. After a pursuit, the suspects eventually stopped their vehicle but refused to exit, resulting in a standoff that lasted several hours. This impasse prompted authorities to close down northbound I-35 just before the 67th Street exit.
