(Maurice)– A pursuit early Sunday near Maurice in Sioux county resulted in the arrests of two men.

Langley was charged with eluding, criminal mischief, interference with official acts and various traffic offenses. Stewart was charged with interference with official acts. Both were booked into the Sioux county jail. Authorities say no charges were filed against another passenger, a female, who was released to a family member.
