Circuit Court arraignment is scheduled December 8 for a St. Joseph man accused of crashing a stolen Mustang into a Strike Force vehicle to avoid arrest.

As we reported earlier, Daniel Embrey is charged as a prior and persistent offender with tampering and resisting arrest for the incident October 25.

Drug Strike Force investigators say they spotted a stolen Ford Mustang in the parking lot of a south-side convenience store.

But in court documents, officials say when they tried to make contact with the driver, he drove the vehicle into the strike force vehicle and then fled at high speed. He was later spotted and apprehended several miles away.

Earlier this week, Embrey waived his preliminary hearing and was bound over for trial. Embrey is free on a $10,000 bail bond pending arraignment December 8.
