Cass County Sheriff grappler stops homicide and kidnapping suspect
Johnson County deputies deployed stop sticks that deflated the tires, with the Warrensburg Police Department assisting in additional stop stick deployments as the suspect vehicle entered Warrensburg. The suspect continued driving on the deflated tires, failing to yield and traveled back to US 50 Highway, westbound.
During the pursuit, the vehicle rammed a deputy's patrol vehicle. The Cass County Sheriff’s Office was requested to use the Grappler to stop the vehicle.
Reports indicated the suspect was armed with a handgun, and a juvenile was inside the vehicle.
The vehicle traveled to the 1800 block of NW US 50 Highway, driving on rims. Cass County Sheriff’s Office deployed the Grappler.
The vehicle lost control and came to a stop. The juvenile was secured, and the suspect surrendered to law enforcement. The suspect was taken into custody without incident.
We thank all agencies involved in this incident and are grateful that all officers are safe.
