On December 5th 2018 at approximately 9:29 p.m. a Missouri State Highway Patrol Trooper attempted to conduct a stop on a vehicle in the area of DD and EE on I-49.
It had been reported that this vehicle had been involved in an accident in Vernon County and left the scene.
The vehicle had extensive damage to it and the pursuing troopers observed the vehicle driving in a careless manner. The pursuit went west on DD Highway and then turned South on Northwest 10th Lane.
As the pursuit traveled south on 10th Ln a Missouri State Highway Patrol Trooper was able to put stop sticks down on 10th Lane just a short ways north of 160 Highway.
The fleeing vehicle drove over the stop sticks and flattened all tires on the vehicle. When the fleeing vehicle got to 160 highway it went westbound. The pursuit continued westbound on 160 Highway past 43 Highway with the vehicle throwing sparks and driving careless in both lanes of traffic.
At one point during the pursuit the fleeing vehicle struck a Barton County Sheriff’s Office vehicle. The pursuit ended just west of Southwest 110th Lane on 160 Highway when the fleeing vehicle struck a guard rail and deputies blocked him from going any further.
After a brief struggle between officers and the subject he was taken into custody without further incident. Arrested was a Justin C. Venard, age 39, of Baxter Springs, Kansas. He's being held in the Barton County Jail on a 24-hour hold for investigation awaiting formal criminal charges.
Reports will be sent to the Barton County Prosecutor for consideration of filing criminal charges.
