93.9 The Eagle – The News and Talk of Columbia, MO
Boone County authorities have confirmed a suspect in an east Columbia police chase is also a suspect in a Centralia burglary.
At about 3:15 p.m. Monday, a deputy spotted an SUV matching the description from a burglary at a Centralia business on Saturday. He says he tried to pull it over, and the woman driving was allegedly pushed out of the SUV on I-70 Drive Southeast by Joshua Skouby.
Investigators say Skouby, a 28-year-old from Auxvasse, got behind the wheel and took off, eventually crashing near Interstate 70 and Route Z.
The female driver has minor injuries, and is not facing criminal charges. A deputy picked up minor injuries catching Skouby when authorities say he tried to run after the crash.
