Was listening to the scanner when I heard Sullivan PD dispatch officers to the median crossover just west of Sullivan on I-44, to assist Crawford County Deputies and Rolla PD who were in pursuit of a suspect eastbound from Rolla at a high rate of speed…I alerted Jim Bartle that Sullivan was going to deploy tire spikes…they apparently did so under the Jim Schatz Memorial Bridge just west of the West Overpass and on doing so, the suspect`s pickup skidded in a long slide to an abrupt stop after taking down a tall steel light post and striking several other things….EMS and Sullivan Fire Department responded to assist, but by the time they arrived, the male driver was in custody….

You can see the skid marks above and the bridge way back in the background…there was a female suspect riding with the driver…I would bet they got more than they bargained for….could have ended alot worse than it did…crime never pays or ends well…
