A St. Joseph man is facing felony charges after a police pursuit Tuesday ended with a crash on U.S. 36 Highway in Buchanan County.

Kevin Clark, 34 is charged with felonies for resisting arrest and unlawful possession of a firearm in DeKalb County.

According to court documents, Missouri State Highway Patrol Trooper K. Cool attempted to stop Clark around 11:30 a.m. for a lane violation on US 36 at Baker Road in DeKalb County.

“A computer check revealed Clark had a felony warrant for assault. I advised Clark he had the felony warrant. Clark’s eyes were bloodshot, his pupils constricted and the skin around the eyes was extremely red,” Cool said. “I conducted several field sobriety tests. Clark admitted to being a methamphetamine user though not recently. He denied me consent to search the vehicle so I requested the Missouri State Highway Patrol’s K-9 unit respond.”

Cool said following the standing field sobriety tests he asked Clark to return to the front seat of his patrol car.

“Clark ran to his silver Honda Accord,” Cool said. “Fled the scene westbound on US 36. Clark drove up to 130 miles per hour, weaving from lane to lane and subsequently crashed his vehicle.”

As we previously reported, Clark was arrested just after noon at the scene of the crash on 36 hwy just east of St. Joseph.

Court documents said a shotgun and syringes were found inside the vehicle.

Clark is currently being held on $250,000 cash bond in the Daviess-DeKalb Regional Jail.
