A Callaway County Sheriff’s deputy observed Allen on Highway 54 and followed him to verify his license was revoked, according to the probable cause statement. Once verified, the deputy attempted a traffic stop near Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Westminster Avenue.

Allen did not stop and a chased ensued through Downtown Fulton, according to the probable cause statement. The chase eventually made its way onto Route Z and then Route JJ. Law enforcement set up spikes at the intersection of Route JJ and Highway 122, the probable cause statement says.
