Law enforcement agencies apprehend the suspect associated with the Taco Bell robbery in Coffeyville.

According to a release from the Chautauqua County Sheriff's Office (CCSO), the suspect, Chad Huggins of Oklahoma, allegedly robbed the Taco Bell in Coffeyville on Tuesday afternoon. A manhunt ensued from there. The CCSO and others were looking for Huggins and the vehicle, a 2015 Silverado pickup, which was reported stolen out of Bartlesville, in the location south of 166 Highway between Road 13 and 16.

The release further states that the Kansas Highway Patrol provided aircraft aid late in the night. It was determined that Huggins drove the vehicle through a fence and back across Highway 166 and onto another property. The vehicle tracks were followed to a lease road but were eventually lost. Deputies were still in the area looking for Huggins and the vehicle throughout the night.

CCSO Sheriff Richard Newby says the suspect vehicle was located in the middle of wide open country. Newby says there was a short pursuit between Huggins and law enforcement before Huggins was taken into custody. He says they were able to pin Huggins in a driveway.

Deputies located the vehicle near US 166 and west of the business route around 11:30 a.m. on Wednesday. Huggins was apprehended around 1:15 p.m.
