One person was arrested after an incident on Interstate 35 near Emporia on Tuesday.
Lyon County Undersheriff John Koelsch says a deputy tried to arrest a person who was allegedly walking on the highway near mile marker 138, or near Road U. Deputies, with the help of Emporia Police and Kansas Highway Patrol troopers, went “hands on” and the suspect, later identified as 26-year-old Emanul Ramirex Cornejo, allegedly resisted arrest.
Cornejo was ultimately arrested and confined on suspicion of unlawful use of a controlled-access highway and interference with law enforcement. Neither Cornejo nor the deputy were hurt.
