KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- An attempted homicide suspect who was armed and allegedly kidnapped a child out of Lee's Summit was caught following a chase where four different agencies in two counties tried to stop them, according to the Johnson County, Missouri, Sheriff's Office. The sheriff's office says this happened on Saturday night around 11 p.m. when its deputies and the Missouri Highway Patrol tried to stop the suspect on U.S. 50 Highway as they drove eastbound into Johnson County from Jackson County. The sheriff's office says the suspect didn't pull over and kept driving toward Warrensburg. Reports claimed a juvenile was in the vehicle and the suspect was armed with a handgun.

Deputies and the Warrensburg Police Department put down stop sticks, which the suspect hit and had their tires deflated, but they turned around and started driving westbound. The sheriff's office says the suspect hit a patrol vehicle during the pursuit, and it requested help from the Cass County Sheriff's Office, which has a Grappler device. The suspect was driving on rims in the 1800 block of NW U.S. 50 Highway, right at the Jackson/Johnson county line, when Cass County deployed the grappler, causing the suspect to lose control and stop. Authorities rescued the child and arrested the suspect.
