A nearly hour long police pursuit that crossed county lines ended without injury Sunday in St. Joseph.

Sgt. Roy Hoskins with the St. Joseph Police Department said officers responded to a call of a domestic situation involving a possible abduction with the suspect possibly being armed around 2:56 p.m. and located the vehicle in the area of Woodbine and Faraon St.

“The license plate was registered and we determined ownership of the vehicle,” Hoskins said. “Officers were familiar with the driver.”

Hoskins said officers pursued the vehicle with the 31-year-old St. Joseph man and a woman inside along I-29 into Savannah and back down 229 to I-29 then across Cook Rd. to Riverside, back into Andrew County then back into St. Joseph traveling down K Highway. Hoskins said they finally apprehended the suspect at Burger King on St. Joseph Avenue around 3:43 p.m.

Law enforcement agencies from Andrew County, Buchanan County, St. Joseph Police Department and the Missouri Highway Patrol assisted in the pursuit. Hoskins said multiple spike strips were deployed. One by the Highway Patrol on I-29 that he believes the vehicle struck and another by the Buchanan County Sheriff’s Department that may have missed.

He said the chase ended without injury. The man is in police custody and Hoskins said the woman was not injured during the altercation.

The case is being forwarded on to the prosecutor’s officer for consideration of charges.
