Callaway County deputies arrest 2 after chase

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

Two people were arrested Thursday in Callaway County following a chase with law enforcement, the Callaway County Sheriff’s Office wrote on its social media.

The sheriff’s office wrote that Boone County deputies were called to a reported theft at a construction site earlier in the day and Ashland police tried to stop the vehicle, but the driver drove the wrong way on Highway 63.

Callaway County deputies saw the vehicle driving through Fulton at 4:35 p.m. and tried to start a traffic stop, but the driver sped away again, the post says. The chase went onto Route H and the driver allegedly “swerved at” oncoming vehicles at least three times, but did not hit any, the post says.

The vehicle rolled over on County Road 315 and a man and a woman from Kansas were arrested on suspicion of theft, felony stealing, drug possession and more, the post says.

The vehicle was reported stolen from Kansas and deputies recovered the stolen items from Boone County, the post says.
