At around 9:46pm on Tuesday evening, officers were called to an area near Ellinwood, Kansas.
When they arrived at the scene, they found an abandoned vehicle in the roadway. It was located and impounded by deputies.
Shortly after, calls came in saying someone was driving a combine harvester nearby in a reckless manner.
The combine harvester was reported weaving from ditch to ditch on U.S. 56 highway. 
It struck a guy wire and caused damage to power poles.
It then continued and entered the city of Ellinwood at around 10:47pm.
The driver drove through a residential neighborhood, striking several
power poles and a 2005 Cheverolet pick-up truck parked on the road.
The pick-up truck sustained extensive damage and the 8-row combine
header was torn from the combine.
An Ellinwood police officer attempted to contact the driver at around
10:52pm. 
The deputy and Ellinwood officer fired approximately 18 rounds at the combine harvester in an effort to disable it. The driver, later identified as Kenneth M. Lamb Jr., 37 of Ellinwood, was taken from the vehicle and arrested. The combine harvester had been stolen near the area where Lamb’s vehicle was found abandoned in the roadway. Lamb was arrested and booked for aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, felony theft, felony criminal damage to property, and reckless driving.
