FULTON, Missouri (KMIZ)
Callaway County officials arrested two people Friday morning who fled from Montgomery County authorities during a chase the night before.
The Callaway County Sheriff’s Office said in an updated post on Facebook that officers arrested Jessica D. Price, 22, of St. Charles, Missouri, and Harrell E. Raby, 36, of Truesdale, Missouri, around 10 a.m. after receiving reports they emerged from the woods in the 8100 block of Route Z.
Deputies and Missouri State Highway Patrol troopers were searching for the couple after they crashed at the end of a chase that began and continued in Montgomery County. The crash occurred on Interstate 70 after it began on the North Service Road in New Florence around 8 p.m., according to the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office.
At one point during the chase – on Deer Road in Montgomery County – the fleeing vehicle turned around and struck a patrol car after emerging from a cloud of dust, Montgomery County authorities say. The officer in the patrol car was not injured.
A manhunt that began on the night of Thursday to Sunday lasted until Friday morning.
Raby had several arrest warrants for traffic violations in other areas of Missouri, the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office said.
Raby was arrested on suspicion of resisting arrest and assault on a police officer. Price was arrested on suspicion of resisting arrest, hit and run and assault on a police officer.
Information about the charges was not available in online court records Friday afternoon.
