St Joseph police say a man in a stolen vehicle who was shot at by officers here last month has been apprehended by Kansas City Kansas Police.
Captain Kevin Castle says 35-year-old Scott Parker was wanted in connection with a stolen vehicle shot at by an officer on March 31. Cast says he was arrested Friday in Kansas City, Kansas, where officials say they found two more stolen vehicles.
At the time of arrest, officials say Parker had an injury to his neck that is believed to have been the result of being fired upon by police in St. Joseph. The vehicle he was believed to have been operating at the time he was shot (a Dodge Durango) had been previously located in Leavenworth, KS and had been burned.
Parker currently has two warrants in Buchanan County (Assault/Attempted Assault on a LEO, class C felony, and Tampering with a Motor Vehicle, class C felony). His bond has been set at $75,000.00 for both counts.
Two other subjects believed to have been involved in vehicle thefts with Parker locally were arrested last Thursday morning. One of the two subjects was also located in the KCK area, and remains in Federal custody on unrelated narcotics charges after his arrest by federal marshals. The other subject was arrested in St. Joseph by the City/County Street Crimes unit and remains in custody on unrelated state warrants.
