Arrest Made Following Pursuit in Henry County

 The Henry County Sheriff’s Office has arrested 22-year-old Andre Isaac Ahnstedt of Clinton following a high-speed motorcycle pursuit and foot chase on Saturday, December 2, 2024.

At approximately 2:22 PM, Clinton Police initiated a pursuit of a motorcyclist near Grandriver St. and 7th St. After their pursuit was discontinued, officers remained in the area to locate the suspect. Soon after, Clinton Police Department spotted the motorcyclist, who refused to stop despite activated lights and sirens.

The pursuit resumed when Lieutenant Kubilus of the Henry County Sheriff’s Office located the motorcycle. The suspect evaded officers, reaching high speeds, running stop signs, and performing dangerous stunts in residential areas.

The pursuit ended near Urich Rd. when the motorcyclist lost control and wrecked. Law enforcement, including Deputy Saulters, Captain Bilbruck, and Sheriff Brown, pursued the suspect on foot through residential and wooded areas. Deputy Saulters and Trooper Henderson of the Missouri State Highway Patrol eventually located the suspect hiding in a creek bed and took him into custody without incident.
