Driver arrested after brief police chase

Officers took a driver into custody after a brief vehicle chase that started and ended in eastern Cole County early Sunday morning.

Law enforcement officers responded around midnight to a burglar alarm at Precision Water and Power Sports, 10103 Marina Road. After arriving, sheriff's deputies and a highway patrol trooper began chasing a suspect vehicle that drove away from the property. It first crossed into Osage County and headed southbound on U.S. 63 before turning around and coming back into Cole County on westbound U.S. 50.

With at least one tire having failed and riding on the rim, the suspect vehicle stopped on U.S. 50 near the Missouri Highway Patrol Troop F Headquarters at Shamrock Road, where the driver was arrested.

The investigation into the apparent attempted burglary at the business is continuing.
