A hearing is scheduled next week for a Kansas City man arrested in Clinton County after a high-speed police pursuit in an allegedly stolen SUV.
According to court documents, Carlos Dwayne Barnett was driving over 115 miles per hour in a pursuit involving the Missouri State Highway Patrol during the early-morning hours of September 7.
Sergeant J. Thompson says in the affidavit that the Jeep Cherokee was stolen from a dealership in Indianola, Iowa.
Barnett is charged with two felony counts, tampering with a motor vehicle and resisting arrest by fleeing. He also faces misdemeanor charges of careless and imprudent driving, failing to yield to an emergency vehicle, failing to stop at a stop sign, and exceeding the speed limit by 26 miles per hour or more.
According to the affidavit, Sgt. Thompson was alerted of three vehicles racing southbound on I-35 from Daviess County. He spotted two of those vehicles and clocked them at 97 miles per hour. But Thompson says when he tried to pull them over, they split up. As Thompson continued to pursue Barnett, he says their speeds exceeded 115 miles per hour. Barnett was arrested at the 20.4 mile marker of I-35 in Clay County, Missouri, according to the court affidavit.
Barnett appeared in court before Clinton County Associate Judge Teresa Lynn Christian-Bingham, who scheduled a status hearing next week as the defendant applies for a public defender. He remains in custody in the Clinton County Jail, unable to post $75,000 cash bail.
