SIKESTON — A Sikeston man faces additional charges after barricading himself in a home and fleeing law enforcement

About 9:45 a.m. Friday, Jan. 31, officers with Sikeston Department of Public Safety responded to a residence in the 200 block of Russell where a man who had a federal warrant for his arrest barricaded himself inside. The suspect climbed out the back window of the home, and a brief foot pursuit ensued as the man ran north.

Moments later a deputy located the suspect near the 200 block of Marie, and the man was taken into custody and transported to Sikeston DPS for booking.

Formal charges are pending.
