![]() On November 6, 2018 Washington Police Department took a report of a stolen vehicle. Franklin County 911 dispatched the vehicle and license plate information to area agencies. The vehicle was reported as a black 2016 Nissan Rogue possibly headed to the New Haven, Mo area. Soon after the dispatch a Franklin County deputy patrolling in the New Haven area located the vehicle traveling westbound Hwy 100 near the intersection of Hwy C. The deputy attempted to initiate a traffic stop on the vehicle, at which point the driver failed to yield to the emergency vehicle. A pursuit was then initiated with the stolen vehicle. A New Haven PD officer assisted in the chase. The driver continued to flee from the deputy on Hwy 100 to Kaiser Hill Rd to Hwy E. At one point, the driver of the stolen vehicle left the roadway and drove through a yard at a residence on Hwy E. He then drove back onto the roadway and continued to flee. During the pursuit, another Deputy was able to deploy tire deflating "spikes" in the area of Hwy E and Dissen Rd, causing one of the tires on the vehicle to deflate and safely slow the vehicle. After striking the spikes the driver stopped the vehicle. The driver, who was identified as Joseph L Kearney, a 37 yr old male from Florissant, Mo was then taken into custody for an outstanding warrant for Parole Violation. The original charge for the his parole was Burglary. Multiple charges are pending including Tampering with a Motor Vehicle along with traffic offenses and resisting arrest. The Franklin Co Sheriff's Office would also like to thank the New Haven Police Dept. and the Missouri State Conservation Agent for their assistance. All parties are considered innocent until they are found guilty in a court of law. Steve Pelton Franklin County Sheriff Comments are closed.
