On February 27th, 2023 at 10:38am a deputy attempted to stop a suspicious vehicle for equipment violations in the Kay Pointe subdivision. The suspect failed to yield to the deputy and a 50 second pursuit occurred at which time the deputy terminated his attempt to stop the suspect due to his dangerous driving.
The deputy encountered the suspect a second time in the neighborhood and again, although the deputy did not attempt to stop him a second time, the suspect drove away at a high rate of speed, disregarding a stop sign before he lost control and crashed into a house in the 700 block of South Hemlock. The driver fled on foot but was apprehended quickly by the pursuing deputy’s canine partner, Rocky.
The driver was taken in to custody and transported to a local hospital for treatment of the apprehension bite he received. He will then be booked into the Greene County Jail for several outstanding arrest warrants and charges stemming from his actions today.
Troopers from the Missouri State Highway Patrol assisted in this investigation. Occupants of the residence were uninjured.
