GRANDVIEW -- A police pursuit in Grandview on Monday that at times reached nearly 100 mph ended in the arrest of an adult male and the recovery of several firearms, including a machine gun, from the suspect’s car.

Grandview police said they attempted to contact two males driving around in a Chevy Suburban following a report that they possessed guns illegally. The driver headed east out of the city limits into Benton County.

The driver eventually stopped near Evans Road and ran on foot into a vineyard. The passenger, a male juvenile, was taken into custody.

Police found the driver a mile away under a porch. He was arrested without incident.

Narcotics were also seized.

Once more our police department is making a dent in this cancerous gang infection. The good news is, people have had enough and are starting to help. Uniting for Peace is working. Our community is working. It's not too late to join the effort. Thank you to those who took a stand and to those who put their lives on the line every day for our safety.
