An Indiana man who was in a crash over the summer after a chase with law enforcement pleaded guilty to several felonies on Monday.

Christopher Voiles, 47, of Kokomo, Indiana, pleaded guilty to interfering with an arrest for a felony, resisting arrest by fleeing, leaving the scene of an accident and three counts of first-degree property damage. He was previously charged with all of those charges and being a fugitive from out of state.

He will be sentenced at 9 a.m. Monday, March 24. He is being held in the Callaway County Jail.

Victoria Voiles, 33, of Kokomo, Indiana, pleaded guilty on Sept. 16 to resisting arrest. She was previously charged with resisting arrest, driving while revoked and being a fugitive from out of state. She was sentenced to four years in the Missouri Department of Corrections and is being held at Chillicothe Correctional Center.   

Court documents in previous reporting say the two had warrants for their arrest out of Indiana for their alleged involvement in a 2012 robbery where a victim was shot in the head. 

According to the probable cause statement, deputies saw the two in a green Chevrolet Colorado with Indiana license plates on Highway 54 near Route BB. A Callaway County deputy and Missouri State Highway Patrol trooper had tried to conduct a traffic stop, the statement says.

Victoria Voiles initially pulled over and law enforcement told the pair to get out of the vehicle, court documents say. The two then switched seats and sped away at 120 miles per hour at points in the chase, the statement says.

While driving in Fulton, the vehicle was allegedly going so fast that Christopher Voiles could not properly make a turn and crashed into a Toyota on State Street, the statement says. Christopher Voiles then drove away from law enforcement again before crashing into a trooper’s vehicle near the intersection with East 9th and Bluff streets.
