Two people were arrested early Sunday morning after a police pursuit and a third suspect is still on the loose, according to the Benton County sheriff’s office.
Carli Supiran, 19, of Anderson, Mo., and Trevor Meeker, 24, of Pineville, Mo., were arrested after fleeing a traffic stop initiated by the Noel, Mo., marshal’s office, according to a press release from the sheriff’s office.
Shawn Turner, 30, of Centerton was not apprehended. Turner was last seen fleeing on foot at Beaty and Craig roads in Sulphur Springs, the release said. The sheriff’s office said it doesn’t believe Turner is armed or poses any threats to the public.
The sheriff’s office asks anyone with information on Turner’s whereabouts to call the department at 479-271-1008.
Supiran fled the traffic stop and drove from McDonald County in southwest Missouri and into Benton County, where the sheriff’s office was contacted about 1:30 a.m. for an assist call on Beaty Road near Sulphur Springs, the release said.
During the pursuit, Supiran rammed a Noel marshal’s vehicle. A marshal then shot at Supiran’s vehicle in attempt to disable it. No one was injured in the chase, the release said.
The vehicle stalled in Sulphur Springs and Supiran and Meeker were arrested.
Supiran was arrested in connection with two counts of aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, aggravated assault and fleeing by vehicle with extreme indifference.
Meeker was arrested on an active felony warrant from the Centerton Police Department for aggravated assault and false imprisonment, the release said.
Both were being held Sunday at the Benton County Jail with no bonds set.
