(From the Cherokee County Sheriff's Office)A Galena man is in custody after attempting to elude law enforcement Thursday morning.
Just before 9:00 a.m., a Galena Police Officer attempted to stop the car, which had been previously reported stolen in Joplin, as it was driving at a high rate of speed through town.
