COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

One person is in custody of the Callaway County Sheriff's Office following a chase with law enforcement Saturday night.

According to a social media post, the Callaway County Sheriff's Deputies were looking for a stolen truck from State Road OO west of Holts Summit. Deputies later found it on County Road 4031 east of Holts Summit.

The driver of the truck fled after deputies began a traffic stop. Deputies then chased the suspect along multiple county roads including Highway 94 and Highway 63. The suspect reportedly reached speeds of up to 130 miles per hour.

Deputies were assisted by the Columbia Police Department, Boone County Sheriff's Office and Missouri State Highway Patrol, with law enforcement laying out spike strips and performing a tactical vehicle intervention or PIT maneuver to stop the suspect.

The suspect initially refused to get out of the truck, but later cooperated with law enforcement, later being transported to a hospital for medical evaluation.

A stolen pistol was found in the truck.
