A man was charged on Tuesday after he allegedly led law enforcement on a chase throughout Columbia.

Kyshawn Harris, 19, of Columbia, was charged with aggravated fleeing. He is being held at the Boone County Jail without bond, though a mugshot was not immediately available. A court date has not been set. A social media post from the Boone County Sheriff’s Office also says a 17-year-old and 16-year-old were also detained by law enforcement.

The probable cause statement says Flock cameras detected plates from a stolen vehicle around 5 a.m. Tuesday. The vehicle was heading north on Range Line Street near Interstate 70. A Boone County deputy turned on his vehicle’s lights to conduct a traffic stop, but the driver sped away, the statement says.

Court documents say the chase took place all over the city and included the driver going into the wrong lane and driving through intersections with stop signs.

The chase ended after Harris drove through the backyard of an apartment complex and stopped between two buildings, the statement says. He allegedly admitted to driving the vehicle but claimed he didn’t know the vehicle was stolen, according to court documents.
