A brief high-speed pursuit Friday morning led to a Great Bend man’s arrest in northwestern Barton County. The Barton County Sheriff’s Office reports receiving an anonymous tip on the whereabouts of Randy Dent, 41, who was wanted on outstanding warrants, and quickly locating the suspect vehicle on a road between Great Bend and Hoisington around 9 a.m. A deputy pulled in behind the car to verify the identity of Dent and get the tag number, but when he attempted to make a stop, Dent drove off. After a brief chase, Dent lost control of the car in a road ditch in the 500 block of NW 130 Road.
