A St. Joseph man was arrested in southern Nodaway County Tuesday morning after engaging in a high-speed chase with law enforcement officers from two counties and multiple agencies.

According to the Maryville Daily Forum Eric Glidewell of St. Joseph failed to yield to a Maryville Public Safety patrol car and exited Maryville on westbound highway 46 where his Pontiac Grand Prix got up to speeds close to 100 mph before turning onto south Fairway Road  and onto several gravel and dirt roads just short of the Andrew County Line.  Glidewell was captured after he abandoned his vehicle and tried to run through a field.  Officers, however followed by car and Glidewell surrendered without incident.

The Maryville Daily Forum reported that Maryville police acted as the lead agency throughout the chase, which also involved deputies from Andrew and Nodaway counties, Missouri State Highway Patrol troopers and, briefly, a civilian aircraft dispatched from Northwest Missouri Regional Airport.  Charges pending.
