A Nevada man is in custody following a vehicle pursuit when a deputy attempted to make a traffic stop on East Austin in Nevada. The vehicle failed to yield and additional deputies were called to help. The vehicle drove into a field off 1900 Road when he lost control and flipped the vehicle onto its side. The driver was then taken into custody by the deputies. Charges were filed by the Prosecuting Attorney’s office and warrants were issued Wednesday afternoon. Sheriff Jason Mosher said suspected drugs were located in the vehicle and have been sent to the Missouri State Highway Patrol Crime laboratory for analysis.

The driver has been identified as Cody M Bowles, 24 of Nevada. Charges include Driving While Revoked, Resisting Arrest, Unlawful Use of Drug Paraphernalia, and Failure to Provide Financial Responsibility. Bowles is being held in the Vernon County Jail with bonds totaling $16,000 cash only.
