A Kansas City Missouri man was arrested Sunday afternoon when he allegedly led law enforcement on a several-mile chase.

28-year-old Obedi Dunia was reportedly speeding over 25 miles per hour over the posted speed limit on Highway 6 when a deputy attempted to stop him.  Ignoring lights and siren, Dunia allegedly failed to pull over for several miles.

The deputy made contact with Dunia, who reportedly had the odor of ingested alcohol.  A PBT showed his BAC at .092 percent.

Dunia was taken into custody and charged with Eluding and Public Intoxication. If convicted, he faces over five years in prison.
