St. Joseph Police were involved in a chase overnight that ended in Andrew County.

According to the police department, officers responded to a call for a well-being check around 12:30 a.m. Thursday. Sgt. Kevin Cummings said a man in his 30s was threatening suicide and when police spotted his vehicle in the St. Joseph Avenue area, they attempted to stop the vehicle. Sgt. Cummings said the man continued driving at a normal speed, but would not stop. Spike strips were used but the man continued driving north into Andrew County before he stopped. Officers negotiated with the man who was eventually taken into custody around 2:30 a.m.

He was then taken to Mosaic Life Care for a well-being check up.
