KENNETT, Mo. (KFVS) – Two Alabama men face multiple charges after allegedly breaking into a Dunklin County pharmacy and leading police on a high-speed chase.
According to court documents, David Evans and Cornelius Bray were arrested for burglary and stealing a controlled substance following an early morning break-in at Harris Pharmacy on First Street in Kennett.
Police responded to a burglary alarm at approximately 2:23 a.m. on Thursday, March 13, and arrived to find the pharmacy’s front door shattered. As officers surveyed the scene, they noticed a white car speeding away and attempted to pull it over.
The driver, however, refused to stop and led police on a high-speed chase exceeding 130 mph. The pursuit continued into Pemiscot County, where the vehicle eventually crashed. Officers then took both suspects into custody.
Evans and Bray now face a long list of charges as the investigation continues.
