(From the Aurora-Marionville Police Department)Sunday afternoon, AMPD attempted a traffic stop on Hwy 39 near Dyer. The vehicle failed to stop and engaged our officers in a pursuit.
The pursuit went down several farm roads and eventually entered Marionville. AMPD was eventually able to pin the vehicle and perform a felony arrest inside Marionville city limits.
The driver arrested was Darren Hemphill, currently wanted by the Missouri Department of Corrections as an absconder. After today’s arrest, more criminal charges will be requested. He is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. He is seen here seated in the rear of an AMPD patrol unit.
As always, we appreciate the backup we received from our local partner agencies.
Aurora and Marionville are unsafe locations to set up a criminal enterprise or to hide to avoid capture. We’re pretty sure that memo has gone out.
