Man charged with 2 felonies after south Columbia chase with deputy

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

A man was charged with a couple of felonies after he was accused of leading a deputy on a high-speed chase Monday in southern Columbia.

Arthur James Hill, 38, was charged with aggravated fleeing and driving while revoked. He is being held at the Boone County Jail on a $10,000 bond.

The probable cause statement says Hill fell asleep at the wheel around 4:30 p.m. Monday while at the intersection of Providence Road and Stadium Boulevard, and his vehicle started rolling through a red light at the intersection.

A deputy turned on his emergency lights and Hill stopped in the intersection before heading south, the statement says. The chase then went to the Green Meadows Road intersection at a speed of 91 miles per hour, the statement says. The chase made its way to Southampton Drive, where Hill eventually stopped, court documents say.

Hill allegedly got out of the vehicle, but then ignored the deputy’s commands as he searched for a “roach,” court documents allege.
