An Overland man, arrested on Oct. 26 following a high-speed chase in Phelps County that traveled into Maries County, is facing criminal charges and will be held at the Phelps County Jail until a Nov. 10 arraignment.

Daniel C. Schneider, 38, was driving a white Ford F250 truck on Phelps County Road 2040 near Phelps County Road 2000 when an officer attempted to make a traffic stop. According to the probable cause statement filed by the Phelps County Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Kara Lyn Breshears, Schneider’s vehicle accelerated when the officer attempted a traffic stop with his siren, fleeing at speeds in excess of 70 miles per hour.

Schneider fled east on County Road 2040, turned north onto County Road 2030, continuing the high rate of speed as he traveled onto adjoining county roads at speeds between 50 and 80 miles per hour.

He traveled onto County Road 2160, crossed Highway 63, continued west onto County Road 8400, then County Roads 8390, 8410, and onto State Route HH.

At State Route HH, he traveled west, reaching State Route E, he turned around and fled east again on State Route HH, continuing onto County Road 8410 until he reached Maries County via County Roads 525, 527, and 523.

The Maries County Sheriff’s Department joined the pursuit.

“The suspect fled for several miles at a high rate of speed before running out of gas on Route FF and was taken into custody in Maries County by Phelps County deputies,” Maries County Sheriff Chris Heitman said. “Members of the Missouri State Highway Patrol assisted as well.”

According to Breshears’s probable cause statement, Schneider ended the chase when he pulled over on Maries County Road 523.

“Schneider stated he fled because he knew he had felony arrest warrants and stopped because he ran out of gas,” according to the probable cause statement.

Schneider had several felony warrants out for his arrest and a revoked Missouri driver’s license with one prior conviction.

“Deputies located suspected methamphetamines inside the vehicle,” Heitman added.

Schneider was booked at the Phelps County Jail on a 24-hour hold. Phelps County Judge Kenneth Gordon Clayton issued a warrant to the Phelps County Sheriff’s Department based on evidence from the probable cause statement. Breshears believes Schneider “will not appear in court in response to a criminal summons because the suspect fled at high speeds along multiple county roads in an attempt to avoid apprehension.”

Breshears added that Schneider “poses a danger to a crime victim or a danger to the community or to any other person.”

The warrant was served Oct. 26 at 8 a.m. Schneider was scheduled for an Oct. 28 arraignment. However, during his Oct. 28 court date, Schneider appeared in court via Webex. His bond modification was denied and the case was set for arraignment and bond review for 9 a.m. on Nov. 10 in Clayton’s courtroom.

Schneider is being charged for alleged possession of controlled substance except for 35 grams or less of marijuana, a synthetic cannabinoid, and resisting/interfering with an arrest for a Class A felony. His bond was set at $100,000.
