Boonville man accused of ramming into MU cop car twice during chase

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

A Boonville man was charged in Boone County on Monday after authorities say he rammed his SUV into a police officer’s patrol vehicle on Dec. 3.

Devin Maupin, 36, was charged on Monday with aggravated fleeing, two counts of armed criminal action, one count of first-degree assault, second-degree drug trafficking, two counts of drug possession, one count of first-degree property damage, misdemeanor leaving the scene of an accident and misdemeanor second-degree property damage.

He is being held without bond at the Boone County Jail. A court date has not been scheduled.

The probable cause statement says an MU police officer tried to stop a Honda SUV on South Providence Road for speeding around 1 a.m. Dec. 3. The driver would not stop the vehicle and allegedly drove through multiple red lights.

Maupin eventually stopped the vehicle at the intersection of Hermitage Road and Waverly Court and rammed into the officer’s patrol vehicle twice, the statement says. He then later hit a parked car in a parking lot while trying to get away, the statement says.

Maupin then allegedly drove through several yards and parked between two duplexes before getting out of the vehicle and running away, the statement says.

The officer then got out of his vehicle and pulled out a gun before Maupin ran away, the statement says. Maupin allegedly broke a window of one of the duplexes and the officer held him at gunpoint until Maupin gave himself up, the statement says.

Maupin allegedly told the officer he tried to overdose on fentanyl. Officers found drugs in the vehicle, court documents say.
