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.
