A 29-year-old man was taken into custody near downtown St. Joseph Friday on a warrant out of Texas.

Lt. Shawn Collie with the Buchanan County Sheriff’s Department said Justlet Joseph was arrested on a warrant out of Amarillo, Texas for Aggravated Assault with a deadly weapon, domestic violence related.

Law Enforcement Officers with the St. Joseph Police Department, Buchanan County Sheriff’s Department, Special Response Team, and several Federal Agencies responded to the 1300 block of Powell Street around noon.  The road was blocked off in both directions at that location for nearly two hours.

“The Sheriff’s Department and Police Department have been assisting Amarillo Texas Police Department in locating a fugitive wanted out of Amarillo Texas on a shooting,” Collie said. “Through the investigation we were able to place the wanted fugitive here at this residence.”

Collie said Joseph came out of the residence without incident shortly after the Special Response Team called for him to come out.  Collie said it’s still unclear why Joseph was in St. Joseph.

“There’s another female that was with the suspect and then a toddler maybe two or three years old unrelated to the case,” Collie said. “This is a place he’s been staying with maybe family members or associates.”

Collie said Justlet will be extradited back to Texas.

“We’ll go through a process of getting him charged as a fugitive from out of state here.  Once he’s charged here then he’ll be shipped back to Texas where they’ll be able to complete their investigation,” Collie said.
