Authorities report a high-speed pursuit and then a foot chase were involved before an Illinois man was arrested this weekend in Clinton County, Missouri on a murder warrant from northern Illinois.
The highway patrol, which requested the assistance of Cameron Police and other departments, said the pursuit occurred Saturday on Interstate 35 as it traveled through Cameron. The Clinton County sheriff’s office reports deputies deployed spikes causing some of the motor vehicle tires to deflate and slowed the pursuit speeds from as high as 125 miles an hour. Officials say the suspect later wrecked the vehicle and fled on foot south of Cameron. The foot chase also included a short standoff before the suspect was taken into custody.
