KANSAS CITY (AP) - A manhunt continued Wednesday for a northwest Missouri man suspected of overpowering a Kansas City police officer and stealing his patrol car, which was found abandoned along Interstate 35.
Missouri Highway Patrol spokesman Sgt. Jake Angle said Joshua Boyd, 30, of Liberty, is considered armed and dangerous because a shotgun was missing from the police cruiser, which was found after 4 a.m. near Pattonsburg, about an hour's drive north of Kansas City.
Pattonsburg residents have been alerted about the incident, Angle said, and Daviess County sheriff's deputies were canvassing county roads Wednesday morning in search of Boyd.
