MEXICO, Mo. (KMIZ)

A Mexico man was arrested after he was pulled over Wednesday night and then drove off from an officer before he crashed.

A Mexico Public Safety Department officer stopped Christopher Welch, 33, who was driving a vehicle in the 600 block of Muldrow just after 11 p.m.

In a release, Welch attempted to drive away after speaking with an officer. Welch drove north on Muldrow for about a block, lost control of his vehicle and left the roadway, striking a stop sign. His vehicle then crossed Muldrow and struck some landscaping and a decorative fence.

Mexico Public Safety Department arrested Welch and took him to the Audrain County Jail.

Welch has not been formally charged according to online court records.
