On 04-09-2020, at 1915 hours (715 pm) Sarcoxie officers was advised of a silent panic alarm at Muncy's Supermarket.
Upon arrival, two Sarcoxie units observed a black motorcycle leaving the premise by cutting through the grass between Muncy's and the Post Office.
A third Sarcoxie officer was able to get in behind the motorcycle at 5th and Cross. The motorcycle then proceeded to flee from officers.
The pursuit went from the Square, west on Center to 14th. Southbound on 14th to eastbound Aspen Road further into in Newton County. Back to the north on Walleye Road before the motorcycle lost control on a curve at Walleye Road and Azalea Road.
The driver, Levi Conrad of Joplin, MO began to not comply with the Sarcoxie officer's verbal commands. The taser was ineffective in gaining compliance with Conrad.

Thank you to Newton County Sheriff's Office for your quick response and assistance, to the Missouri State Highway Patrol for your assistance with the needed reports, Sarcoxie Rural Fire District for the quick response for our suspects, Sarcoxie City Fire Chief and wife for coming to check on us officers, the EMS staff, and last but certainly not least the Jasper County Sheriff's Office for covering the disturbance call that happened in town while all this went down.
