A couple in a stolen car was arrested after leading deputies on a chase through Saline County early Tuesday morning.

Sheriff Roger Soldan tells KSAL News that around 2am, a deputy on patrol approached a parked car on Watkins Road west of Salina. As he neared, the 4-door Lexus drove away, kicking off a chase that stretched from Brookville to southwest of Salina near Magnolia and Hohneck Roads.

The driver, 23-year-old Taylor Horstman lost control of the car and spun into a wet wheat field and got stuck in the mud.
