Joplin man arrested for burglary, kicking arresting JPD officers

(From the Joplin Police Department)

Burglary Arrest

On March 13, 2019 at 9:15 pm the Joplin Police Department responded to 920 East 15th Street for a suspicious person. The caller was at work at the business and saw a male on the parking lot and heard glass break.

As officers responded the suspicious person saw the employee inside the business, and then proceeded to break a window to the building and start to crawl into the window.

Officers arrived and saw the male at the window, and he ran on foot. Officers contained him to the area of 1615 South Indiana. 








Officers then located the suspect hiding under a truck, and he refused to surrender. The suspect was sprayed with OC spray to gain compliance, but still assaulted officers by kicking them as he was taken into custody. 

The suspect, Justin M. Winters, 37, Joplin, was taken into custody. He is held at the Joplin City Jail with charges pending for first degree burglary and felony resisting arrest.
