Arkansas – Early Friday morning, Oklahoma Highway Patrol troopers spotted a vehicle near Shawnee that matched the description of a car related to a BOLO (“be on the lookout”) reported in Arkansas.
Troopers attempted to pull over the vehicle, but Moore allegedly led them on a high-speed pursuit.
Officials say the chase traveled along westbound I-40 across the metro and involved multiple agencies. At one point, speeds reached 130 miles per hour.
The suspect, Emajee Moore, was originally thought to be a suspect in an Amber Alert out of Arkansas but law enforcement in Conway, Ark., say it is now considered a non-custodial kidnapping.
Authorities say a toddler is safe and a man is in custody following a chase in Oklahoma.
“It pulls at your heartstrings when you know that there’s a two-year-old child that’s involved,” said Maj. John Cook, with the Elk City Police Department.
At that point, Moore was taken into custody. Investigators believe he was on his way to Las Vegas.
Cook told KFOR that Moore will likely face child abuse charges.
