On Saturday night, January 5, 2019, officers with the Lamar Police Department were dispatched to the Pete’s Convenience Store located at 101 East 12th Street, Lamar, in reference to a suspicious person.
On arrival officers made contact with Michael J. Chapman, 34, of Kansas City. After locating an outstanding warrant, officers attempted to detain Chapman in handcuffs. Chapman then resisted by running from officers.
One officer deployed a Taser, but the application was unsuccessful. A short time later, Chapman was discovered hiding near a shed and taken into custody .
It was learned that during the foot chase Chapman had thrown a handgun. That handgun had been reported stolen out of Gravette, Arkansas.
Chapman is currently in custody at the Barton County Jail on $11,000 bond for the charges of Resisting Arrest, Receiving Stolen Property, and for Felon in Possession of a Firearm.
