On July 23, 2019 the Jasper County Sheriff’s Deputies were requested to assist Jasper PD in a vehicle pursuit. That pursuit was terminated due to poor visibility.
Shortly afterward the suspect vehicle was located by Jasper County Deputies in the northwestern part of Jasper County. An attempt to stop the vehicle failed and another pursuit ensued. The driver of the suspect vehicle made several attempts to elude deputies with erratic driving.
The pursuit ended when the driver, later identified as Larry Flowers age 36 of Oronogo, Mo., drove through a corn field and up on to State Highway 171, striking two vehicles. Occupants of the two vehicles received only minor injuries Mr. Flowers was transported to a local hospital where he is being treated.
The Jasper County Sheriff’s Office is seeking charges for Felony resisting arrest. The Missouri State Highway Patrol assisted with working the accident scene.
