On June 7, the Missouri State Highway Patrol was involved in a vehicle pursuit with a vehicle traveling 90 miles per hour on U.S. Highway 50.

A release from the Pettis County Sheriff’s Department says just east of Tipton, the vehicle traveled off the roadway into a field, and the driver, later identified as Sydney Ward, fled on foot, leaving a juvenile child in the vehicle.

A Pettis County deputy and K-9 Cav were called to assist with the tracking of Ward. Cav was able to track Ward to a small body of water, where she attempted to resist once again. Cav engaged the suspect but the deputy was able to restrain the K-9, and Ward was taken into custody without injury.

Ward was wanted on several warrants- one of which is a felony with no bond.

Other charges are pending related to the pursuit, and juvenile child’s presence during an unlawful act.
