DOVER, Kan.—Authorities say a suspect in a possible Colorado homicide is holding hostages at a home in eastern Kansas.
Geary County Undersheriff Carlos Roman says authorities pursued the man in a stolen vehicle Saturday morning. The man then abandoned that vehicle and went into a home in Dover, where he was holding hostages.
According to the Shawnee County Sheriff’s Department, it was unclear how many hostages there were.
Geary County Sheriff Jim Jensen told KJCK-AM that there were no immediate reports of injuries.
Authorities have been looking for Jesse Dennis Dimmick. The Kansas Attorney General’s Office says he may be connected to a possible homicide in Aurora, Colo.
On Friday, Geary County deputies chased Dimmick in another vehicle. During that pursuit, Dimmick wrecked the vehicle and fled on foot.
