Almo man arrested again, this time following police pursuit

An Almo man was arrested in Calloway County on Thursday for the 38th time for various offenses since 2001. This time after leading police on a pursuit.

The Calloway County Sheriff's Office said deputies attempted to serve an arrest warrant in Dexter. 

During the attempt, a vehicle fled the area at a high rate of speed, prompting a pursuit that extended several miles. As the suspect vehicle neared Almo, a deputy executed a PIT maneuver, causing the vehicle to leave the roadway and become disabled in a ditch.

The driver was identified as 42-year-old Billy K. Reed, who was taken into custody without further incident.

Reed was charged with fleeing police, possession of a controlled substance, wanton endangerment, operating on a suspended license, failure to maintain insurance and various traffic offenses.
