A 42-year-old Brookfield man has been charged with multiple felonies after allegedly leading a law-enforcement officer on a pursuit on May 28.
According to a probable-cause statement, a Brookfield Police officer attempted to make a traffic stop, but the driver of the suspect vehicle didn’t stop and sped out onto Missouri Highway 11. The suspect vehicle turned onto Jewel Drive, and after approximately one mile, the driver of the suspect vehicle lost control on the gravel. The vehicle left the roadway on the right side of the road returned to the road, overturned and ejected the driver. The driver, Christopher A. Wilson, and a passenger were transported to Pershing Memorial Hospital for treatment. Wilson was flown by helicopter to University Hospital in Columbia for treatment of injuries.
Wilson has been charged with a Class D Felony for Assault in the Second Degree; Class E Felonies for resisting arrest, Detention or Stop by Fleeing and First-Degree Property Damage; and an Unclassified Felony for Armed Criminal Action. Bond has been set at $15,000 cash, surety or 10-percent cash.
Wilson waived his formal arraignment on August 27. His attorney filed a Motion for Change of Judge on September 3, which was sustained by the court. A Disposition Hearing in this case is scheduled to be held at 1 p.m. on Tuesday, October 20 at Linn County Circuit Court.
