(EARLIER STORY): Right now Boone County Deputies and the Missouri State Highway Patrol are working a scene along the westbound side of I-70 Drive near the Centralia exit 133.

Sgt. Michael Halford confirms there is a barricaded suspect inside a home. He could be armed, but has no hostages inside. Negotiators have been using bullhorn to call out to him, but he hasn’t responded

The suspect reportedly saw troopers while he was driving and pulled inside a random driveway. He then ran inside of a nearby home. We are told the home is not his, but the people inside were able to get out.

Halford tells us this man is wanted for at least two felony warrants.

Our ABC 17 News reporter saw troopers in trees near the apartment with their guns drawn shortly before 10:30 p.m.

She also saw troopers using a bullhorn to call out to the person they are looking for.

Neighbors tell us officers advised them to stay inside their homes Thursday night.
