(UPDATE) St. Joseph police say a detective sergeant on the department spotted an active disturbance in a white SUV near the Belt and Faraon shortly after noon Thursday.
Detective Sgt. Jason Strong tried to pull the vehicle over and arrest a man inside the vehicle, who left the vehicle in the street and fled. A woman in the vehicle warned Strong that the man had a gun. As it turns out, she had already been shot in the shoulder at another location.
According to Sergeant Roy Hoskins, Strong then fell back and called for backup, as the suspect fled into the mobile home park northeast of the intersection.
The suspect, a 24-year-old St. Joe man, was soon found hiding in a shed in the mobile home park and was arrested. The woman, a 25-year-old St. Joe woman, was transported to Mosaic Life Care for treatment of a single gunshot wound to the clavicle. Sgt. Hoskins says her injuries were not life threatening.
The SUV was left behind in the right turn lane. It was eventually towed.
