SEDALIA, Mo. (AP) — A 27-year-old Clinton man will be sentenced in March for second-degree murder after a police chase ended with a bystander's death.
Westley Reid pleaded guilty this week in the death of 27-year-old Zachary Hancock Bottom of Sedalia on March 1.
Police say Reid was driving a stolen vehicle out of Henry County when he was pursued by law enforcement officers into Sedalia, where he ran a red light and collided with Bottom's car.
Reid also pleaded guilty Monday to driving while intoxicated leading to death, tampering with a motor vehicle and resisting arrest.
