A Bates City man has been charged with a felony after he allegedly led law enforcement on a high-speed chase in Lafayette County on Tuesday, April 24.
According to a probable-cause statement, a Missouri State Highway Patrol trooper tried to conduct a traffic stop. However, the suspect’s vehicle failed to stop and led the trooper on a chase, during which the suspect’s vehicle reached over 100 miles per hour. After the suspect’s vehicle slid off a roadway, he was apprehended at the intersection of Route T and Osborn Road.
According to online court documents, a warrant has been issued, and Matthew Ogle has been charged with a Class E Felony for Resisting Arrest or Stop by Fleeing- Creating a Substantial Risk of Serious Injury or Death to Any Person and several driving-related misdemeanors. Bond has not been set.
