1 Of 2 Suspects In Custody After High-Speed Chase Ends In Parking Lot

One person is in custody and another is on the run after a high-speed chase in southeast Oklahoma City.

The chase happened just after 11:30 p.m. Thursday night. The chase ended when the suspects crashed into a convenience store.

Oklahoma City police said the chase lasted a couple minutes, as the initial 911 call came from just over a mile away.

"There was a vehicle driving by. Someone had a gun out the window firing it," Oklahoma City police Master Sergeant Gary Knight said.

The call came from a residential area near Interstate 35 and Southeast 22nd Street. Officers nearby saw a car that matched the description, but the driver sped off.

"As it turns out, the vehicle was a stolen car, so they were eluding police in a stolen vehicle,” Knight said. “The pursuit wound its way through southeast Oklahoma City for a minute, minute and a half before it crashed out at a convenience store.”

OCPD said the two people inside the car jumped out and ran. K-9's found the driver, Zachary Pappan, in a shed nearby. 

Lamont Richardson lives near the Supermart. He watched as investigators looked for the second suspect.

Police searched the stolen vehicle and found a gun holster but no gun. Pappan was arrested on an attempting to elude police and unlawful use of a motor vehicle complaints.
