Multi-Agency Pursuit Leads to Arrest

 

 A manhunt after a pursuit leads multiple law enforcement agencies through several counties.

 According to Galena Police Chief Chad Allison, around 1:30 yesterday afternoon, Galena PD received a call from Joplin PD about a stolen truck. The truck was spotted around 7th and Mineral, and in an attempt to stop it, the driver lead officers on a pursuit back into Missouri, through Jasper County into Newton County.

 Allison says the pursuit ended near Wildcat Glades, when the truck stalled. The driver then fled on foot, but was apprehended a short time later.

 The suspect's name has not been identified as of yet. Galena PD says K9 officers and a drone from the Newton County Sheriff's Office aided in the apprehension of the suspect.
