A Marshall man has been charged with felonies after an incident in Saline County on August 8.

According to a report from the Saline County Sheriff’s Department, authorities were checking the area of the Marshall Junction for a wanted suspect fleeing from law enforcement in Pettis County. A Saline County Deputy reportedly located the suspect vehicle and attempted at traffic stop, but the vehicle did not yield. The suspect vehicle allegedly traveled at speeds in excess of 100 mph on northbound U.S. Highway 65, heading toward Marshall City limits. The vehicle also reportedly traveled at speeds in excess of 80 mph in Marshall, where it lost control and crashed.

The driver was transported to University Hospital in Columbia and is pending formal charges. The passenger, 23-year-old Kalib Tyler Richardson, was arrested and formally charged.
