Suspect leaps through glass to evade K9

HOLTS SUMMIT - A wanted man was captured Wednesday following a chase with a Callaway County Sheriff's Office K9 unit.

K9 Krieger and his handler were conducting a patrol at 11 a.m. in the Holts Summit area when they spotted Travis Schroer, of Fulton, on a motorcycle. Schroer was wanted by the Missouri Department of Corrections for parole violations, according to the Sheriff's office.

Deputies and officers pursued, eventually apprehending Schroer following a physical struggle.

He was arrested and taken to the Callaway County Jail and later returned to the custody of the Missouri Department of Corrections.
