A 34-year-old St. Joseph man learned the hard way that fleeing from authorities at high speeds is not likely to end well.
According to Sgt. Jake Angle of the Missouri State Highway Patrol, the man fled a traffic stop near the Osborn junction on U.S. Highway 36 Tuesday morning. A chase followed that ended with a rollover crash east of St. Joseph.
An online arrest report shows the suspect has an outstanding arrest warrant in Buchanan County. He was taken into custody on a 24-hour hold and was taken to the Daviess-Dekalb County Regional Jail. The report says the chase reached speeds of 130 miles-per-hour.
He faces possible charges of failing to drive in a single lane, no insurance, speeding at 130 in a 65-mile-per-hour zone, driving while intoxicated on drugs, resisting arrest by fleeing, unlawful possession of a firearm, and unlawful use of drug paraphernalia, as well as the outstanding warrant.
As of yet no formal criminal charges have been filed.
