Douglas County Deputy Rams Fleeing Driver's Car, Sparta, Missouri
A Douglas County sheriff's deputy rammed a fleeing driver's car to end a pursuit in Sparta, Missouri, on Jan. 8, 2025. Wright County 911 had alerted deputies to a stolen white Volvo possibly entering Douglas County. A deputy spotted it near Cowskin Bridge, and the driver accelerated as he tried to turn around for a stop. Janissa Wilson drove into oncoming lanes, passed on blind corners and forced drivers off the road during the pursuit into Christian County and through Sparta. Cpl. James Nelson struck the Volvo's rear at about 40 mph. Wilson was arrested and taken to Christian County Jail, then Douglas County Jail. She was charged with 18 felony counts: 15 counts of first-degree assault, aggravated fleeing, methamphetamine possession and first-degree property damage involving more than $750 in damage to the patrol vehicle.
