(MSC News)--A Riverside, Missouri man is facing charges following a recent local area pursuit in a stolen vehicle which eventually ended in Platte County, Missouri.
The Kansas Chief reports that 20-year-old Corey Lee Singleton was taken into custody along Interstate 29 following the January 12th chase. He faces felony charges of tampering with a motor vehicle and resisting arrest.
Kansas Highway Patrol Trooper Don Hughes tells MSC News the pursuit began when the suspect vehicle failed to stop for a Trooper attempting to issue a speeding citation. “It started in Nemaha County, went eastbound on 36 to Brown County, while in Brown County the traffic was a lot heavier around Fairview and the Trooper terminated the pursuit because of the safety for the traveling public.”
Singleton apparently made his way into Doniphan County, where the newspaper says the Sheriff's Office and the Patrol continued the pursuit on several eastern Doniphan County roads and through the city of Wathena before the suspect vehicle crossed the Pony Express bridge into Missouri.
Pursuing officers requested assistance from the Missouri Highway Patrol, which placed stop sticks on Interstate-29 in an attempt to stop the vehicle.
After one of the vehicle’s tires was flattened by the stop sticks, the vehicle continued on for about another four miles before finally coming to a stop.
Also assisting in the pursuit were the Wathena Police Department and Platte County Sheriff's office.
