A Yankton man is behind bars after a vehicle pursuit near Volin Friday afternoon.

According to the South Dakota Highway Patrol, a trooper tried to make a traffic stop on 1999 Ford Mustang two miles west of Volin for speeding. The driver, 19-year-old Michael Brown of Yankton, refused to stop and the pursuit began. The vehicle eventually entered a parking lot in a rural part of Yankton County and Brown was arrested without incident.

Brown was arrested and booked into the Yankton County Jail on charges of speeding, aggravated eluding law enforcement, no seatbelt, driving with a suspended license, driving on the wrong side of the road, and a stop sign violation.
