(KLZA)--A 17-year-old boy is in custody following an early Thursday morning pursuit that happened while he was behind the wheel of a stolen vehicle.
Those allegations are outlined in a report from Rock Port, Missouri Police Chief Shannon Sherwood.
According to the report, Christopher Arita was arrested after the vehicle he was driving was stopped on I-29, in Holt County.
Rock Port Police were notified by Iowa authorities around 1:00 Thursday morning that the pursuit was in progress. That agency joined authorities from Fremont County, Iowa in the pursuit that ended with Arita in custody.
He is facing charges for tampering with a motor vehicle, resisting arrest/detention/stop by fleeing-creating substantial risk of serious injury or death, exceeding the posted speed limit, operating a motor vehicle in a careless and imprudent manner, and operating a motor vehicle without a valid license.
Following his arrest, Arita was booked into the Atchison County, Missouri Jail.
