Last Friday two STMPD Officer observed an occupied stolen vehicle. The suspect were attempting to carjack another “ride.”
Result of head on crash after suspect aimed at and struck the police car. Crash being investigated by St. Louis County PD
Whilst activating their emergency equipment the car bolted from the scene and the Officers initialed a pursuit. The Officers chased the car into St. Louis County. The driver of the car made a U-Turn on an expressway and aimed at and struck the police car. The Officers suffered serious injuries and are being treated at a hospital.
Now for those of you questioning if Officers can pursue outside of their jurisdiction…YES! Police can pursue a vehicle under the doctrine of “Fresh Pursuit” as contained on MO Statute 544.157. SO THERE!
Peace
