LAWRENCE, Kan. -- Police have released the dash camera video from a 40-minute chase last week. Officers said the incident started near 19th Street and Naismith Drive in Lawrence when the Toyota Celica hit another car and took off. The Toyota driver and police were kicking up dust on dirt roads soon after leaving downtown, and the dash camera video shows the tire tracks where the Celica first went off-road in an effort to lose police and swerve around spike strips. "We tried to deploy stop sticks a couple times. He avoided them. He didn't stop," said Lawrence police Sgt. Mark Warren The chase took police along several Douglas and Leavenworth County roads, then circled back on 24 Highway toward Interstate 70. The Toyota went off-road again to get around a police car blocking him, and hopped onto the turnpike at the East Lawrence toll plaza. "It was about a 41-minute chase, and it was longer than we normally see chases last," Warren said. The dash camera video appears to show the Celica dropping car parts along the way, but that didn't seem to slow it down, as police recorded speeds of 90 to 100 mph. The driver, Juaquin Jarado Gutierrez, 25, with his girlfriend in the passenger seat, went over a third set of spike strips before the chase ended near the Kansas Highway 7 ramp from I-70, police said. "Obviously, this person has compounded their problems. Whatever the reason that he initially would've been stopped for, he's compounded them many times," Warren said. Gutierrez was charged with driving while intoxicated, driving without a valid license and various traffic offenses connected to the crash and chase.
