At 2:14 p.m. yesterday, a trooper advised he was in pursuit of a blue Dodge Intrepid northbound I-49 from the 138.4 mile marker in Bates County. The suspect vehicle fled as the trooper approached for traffic charges. The vehicle continued northbound on I-49 at a high rate of speed. At I-49 north of Route AA, the vehicle struck spike strips deployed by trooper's. The vehicle continued traveling northbound and the white male driver threw items and baggies from the vehicle during a span of several miles. The driver began gesturing with his hands, including making motions as if his hand were a pistol. No actual weapons were displayed. At 2:19 p.m., the vehicle exited northbound on MO-291 and the vehicle overheated, causing the vehicle to stop near Quik Trip on Rockhaven Road at MO-291. Vearl C. Strutton II age 42, was taken into custody without further incident. Strutton advised he failed to yield because he was en route to the hospital for a possible stroke.
