A Jefferson City man is accused of getting drunk, whacking someone with a hammer, and driving away from the cops.
Police say they got word about an assault with a hammer at about 10 a.m. Thursday on Southridge Drive. Germaine Morehouse allegedly drove off in a stolen car.
When officers spotted that car near Route C and Southwest Blvd., they say Morehouse sped away from a traffic stop. They used spike strips on Highway 54, and finally got him to stop in Holts Summit.
Morehouse was in jail as of Thursday afternoon.
