The pursuit, which involved about 15 police cars from several agencies, finally came to an end at the intersection of Highway 47 and 94 near Dutzow. Law enforcement authorities identified the driver as Billy E. Kloeppel, 31, of Kansas City. He told police he was en route to visit a friend in Ohio, according to Sgt. Al Nothum of the Missouri State Highway Patrol. State troopers responded to a call for a suspicious person at the Mineola rest stop and attempted to pull Kloeppel over when the incident began at 2:56 p.m. Speeds reached 110 mph early in the chase, Nothum said. Kloeppel drove over a set of spike strips, Nothum said, at the 188-mile marker five miles west of Warrenton, causing the car's left rear tire to blow. He drove the remainder of the way on the rim with speeds of around 50 mph. The chase went through Warrenton as the man drove eastbound on the South Service Road and then headed south on Highway 47. The chase continued to Marthasville. Kloeppel drove over a second set of spike strips in Marthasville. He finally stopped after driving over a third set thrown out at the Dutzow intersection. Both front tires were flat when Kloeppel was apprehended. He was taken into custody by the highway patrol without further incident. A search of Kloeppel and the vehicle found nothing illegal, according to Nothum. Authorities said the car was stolen from Colorado. Some of the agencies involved in the pursuit were the highway patrol, Warren County sheriff's deputies, Warrenton police, Montgomery County sheriff's deputies and Washington police. Kloeppel told authorities he had been released from a Colorado prison in November. According to court documents, Kloeppel spent five years in prison in Missouri beginning June 8, 1998, for stealing a motor vehicle. He also had a three-year sentence suspended and successfully completed 850 days of supervised probation between November 2002 and March 2005 for failure to pay child support.
