SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (KY3) - A teen stole a Jeep and led law enforcement on a pursuit Saturday afternoon in south Springfield, nearly hitting golfers at Horton Smith Golf Course.
A video, submitted by Chance Raiden, shows the stolen blue Jeep driving through the golf course. Raiden and his friends were midway through a round a golf when the driver nearly hit them.
Two suspects, including the driver, have been taken into custody. An 18-year-old man, a Springfield resident not yet identified by investigators, is accused in the pursuit.
Investigators first spotted the Jeep Wrangler without license plates near West Bypass and Kearney Street. Deputies then determined the Jeep was stolen and began a pursuit, which ended shortly after 5:30 p.m. near Battlefield Road and Scenic Avenue.
The Jeep was tagged with a GPS tracking device, allowing Greene County deputies to track the vehicle from a distance.
Investigators say the driver briefly went through the golf course, then stopped on Scenic Avenue.
The driver, in addition to a passenger who left the vehicle earlier during the pursuit, were both taken into custody. Both are being held at Greene County Jail.
Charges are pending, but expected to include property damage, tampering, resisting arrest, and assault for nearly hitting golfers for the driver, investigators tell KY3.
The Greene County Sheriff’s Office is leading the investigation with assistance from Springfield police.
We will update as more information becomes available.
