Earlier news release
The officers involved in the shooting arrest Monday night are identified as Corporal Brett Kohler, Detective Seth Lugenbell and Officer Joel Taber.
All three officers were attempting to arrest the suspect and were on scene at the time the suspect fired shots. Detective Seth Lugenbell returned fire. The suspect that was taken into custody by these officers is a 16-year-old male who was wanted for a shooting the day prior. These officers are still on administrative leave, per our department policy.
Original News Release
Officers and detectives from our department went to 1414 West 5th at 5:43pm on 10/23/17 in an attempt to contact the juvenile suspect from yesterday’s shooting at Parr Hill Park. One of our officers was driving down Maiden Lane and saw the suspect in the front yard of the residence and called for assistance to arrest him as he turned around and went back.
While officers were on scene, the juvenile suspect ran on foot to the south behind the house. As the suspect was running south with officers chasing him he fired shots. One of our officers returned fire. The suspect was taken into custody to the south near Hiland Dairy without further incident. Neither he nor the officers were injured. There were concerns that there was another person in the house that could cause harm due to the suspect’s actions yesterday and today, and the SWAT team was activated. Shortly after 8pm, it was determined nobody else was in the house.

Incident Spotlight
This morning at 5:25 a.m. one of our officers stopped a vehicle at 26th and Main. He had seen it at a location known for narcotics and ran the plate and discovered the driver had a city warrant.
When the vehicle left he saw the same female driving as the one that had the warrant. When he stopped the car he noticed white powder on the female driver, the driver's door and the floorboard. The female said it was "foot powder."
The officer had her exit the vehicle and there was a baggie in her seat that field tested positive for meth. A use of his K9 and further search revealed a baggie of meth between the front seats and drug paraphernalia. Felony drug charges submitted on the 24-year-old Joplin female.
