A St. Joseph man is due back in court next month after allegedly crashing a stolen Mustang into a Drug Strike Force vehicle.

As we previously reported, Daniel Embrey was charged as a prior and persistent offender with tampering and resisting arrest after an incident in October.

Embrey appeared in court Thursday for an arraignment, through his lawyer Embrey waived a formal arraignment and entered a plea of not guilty.

On Oct. 25, Strike Force investigators said they spotted a stolen Mustang in the parking lot of a south-side convenience store.  In court documents, officials said when they tried to make contact with the driver, he drove the vehicle into the strike force vehicle and then fled at high speed. Embrey was allegedly spotted latter and taken into custody several miles away.

He’s currently out on bail.
