Captain Shawn Collie tells us the officer was trying to serve a warrant at 12th and Highland at about 10am when a struggle ensued. Collie says the suspect managed to take the officer’s taser and use it on the officer. The officer shook it off and gave chase through the neighborhood, but the suspect managed to call an acquaintance, who picked him up and drove off. The taser was recovered.
That vehicle, a black Honda Civic, was later located at the St. Joseph REC Center. Authorities believe the suspect left that area in an unknown black four-door. The suspect remains at large.
Captain Collie identifies the suspect as 21-year-old Justin Wolfe of St Joseph. If you can help, call the TIPS hotline at (816)238-TIPS, or call the Strike Force at (816) 233-3377.
