A St. Joseph man is facing a felony drug charge after allegedly hitting a Strike Force vehicle in an attempt to flee with a child in tow.

William Ingram, 35 was charged Friday in Buchanan County with a felony of possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute. The charge carries a 5-15 year sentence range.

According to court documents, Thursday around 2:30 p.m. in the area of Vine and Messanie Ingram came into contact with investigators while driving a 2000 dodge truck.

“Ingram had an active felony warrant for child support at this time. During the attempted arrest Mr. Ingram attempted to flee in the vehicle, hitting a Strike Force vehicle causing moderate damage,” said Inv. Mike Smith with the Buchanan County Sheriff’s Department. “Ingram further resisted and was removed from the vehicle which caused injury to an investigator.”

Smith said Ingram had a 3-year-old in his vehicle and loaded stolen handgun at the time of the incident.

“Mr. Ingram was found in possession of approximately 121.8 grams of methamphetamine, stolen handgun and $910 of US currency,” Smith said.

Bail has been set at $10,000. An arraignment is scheduled in Div. 5 on Tuesday at 9 a.m.
