A Joplin man on the run for over two weeks has been captured.

Friday night around 11:20 pm, Joplin Police conducted a traffic stop on a white Chevrolet Tahoe near 2315 West 7th Street. Officers believed 34-year-old Adam Kastler, who was wanted on several felony warrants, was a passenger in the vehicle. During the stop, Kastler forcefully stole the vehicle from the owner and fled the scene. During the pursuit, Kastler fired multiple gunshots at pursuing Joplin Police Officers at multiple times in the pursuit. When the pursuit entered Kansas, the suspect vehicle crashed west of Galena. Kastler was taken into custody without further incident.

 No officers were injured and no officers discharged their weapons during the incident. Additional criminal charges are being sought against Kastler, in addition to the active felony warrants out of Newton County for Failure to Appear and a Joplin Municipal warrant for Failure to Appear.
