Charges were filed Thursday in connection with a mid-December police pursuit in St. Joseph involving spike strips.

Michae Miller, 25 is charged in Buchanan County with felonies for stealing a motor vehicle, and resisting arrest stemming from an incident that took place Dec. 15, 2015.

As we previously reported, Miller was arrested on a parole violation on Dec. 15 after a police pursuit and charged with theft/stealing stemming from an incident court documents said took place Nov. 12.

However, charges on the Dec. 15 incident were just filed last week.

Court documents said that officers responded to 3961 Sherman Ave. on a possible burglary in progress call on Dec. 15 around 2:53 a.m.

“According to police reports when officers arrived in the area a Maroon Toyota truck took off at a high rate of speed without headlights going through a grassy area onto the parking lot of Progressive Community. The Maroon Toyota truck failed to stop for the stop sign at Oakland Avenue and the Belt Highway.  At one point Officer Bever advised that the maroon Toyota Truck was traveling East on Faraon the wrong way,” Det. Richard Woodley said in court documents. “Officer Copeland advised that the vehicle was in her driving lane still going East on Faraon and she had to make an abrupt maneuver to avoid a head on collision.”

Police said after that the truck swerved to avoid a police vehicle in front and almost hit another police vehicle in the process.

“Officer PettyJohn was deploying spikes on Frederick Blvd when the Maroon Toyota truck swerved at her causing her to dive for cover.  The vehicle lost control and spun around striking Officer Copeland’s police vehicle in the 3500 block of Frederick Blvd,” Woodley said. “The driver exited the driver side after the vehicle crashed.  The driver fled on foot and was capture after a short foot pursuit.”

Police determined the vehicle used in the chase had been taken without permission and a stolen vehicle report was made.
