Man arrested after police chase ends in Clinton Missouri

Phillon Howard

On Feb. 7, Phillon Howard, 24, Kansas City, Missouri was arrested on a St. Clair County warrant charging him with class E felony resisting arrest by fleeing creating a substantial risk of serious injury/death to any person.

Mr. Howard's Bond was set at $7,500 cash or surety.

The charges stem from an Osceola Police Department investigation the previous day when Mr. Howard was exceeding the posted speed limit on Missouri Highway 13 in rural St. Clair County. 

When a Osceola Police Officer attempted to stop Mr. Howard's Dodge Charger for the speeding violation he failed to yield for the officer. 

The pursuit continued up Missouri 13 Highway until it was ended when the Clinton Police Department deployed spike strips to stop the vehicle. 

Mr. Howard was taken into custody without any further incidence. Further investigation revealed possible drug contraband.
