Shortly before midnight on Wednesday, a Jefferson City police officer on routine patrol in the 200 block of Jefferson Street attempted a traffic stop on a vehicle occupied by a subject who was known to have felony warrants out for his arrest.
When the officer attempted to stop the suspect, the suspect failed to yield to the officer and a pursuit began.
The pursuit continued onto West Main Street, then north on U.S. 54 Eastbound onto Airport Road, then to Missouri 94, northbound on a Callaway County road into Holts Summit, where it eventually terminated at the U.S. 54/South Summit Drive overpass.
Once the suspect stopped the vehicle, he fled the scene on foot. The officer gave pursuit and apprehended the suspect shortly after the foot pursuit began.
The suspect is Zachary Phillips, a 25 year-old Holts Summit male, and he was arrested on the following charges:
- Felony Warrant for Probation Violation on Property Destruction
- Felony Warrant for Dangerous Drug
- Felony Resisting Arrest by Fleeing
- Possession of Controlled Substance
- Fail to Register Vehicle
- Careless and Reckless Driving.
Phillips was taken to the Cole County Jail pending charges and no bond was given on his felony warrants.
