ST. CHARLES COUNTY, Mo. (KMOV) - St. Charles County Prosecutor Tim Lohmar said two officers who shot and killed an armed convicted felon following a high-speed chase were justified in the January shooting. On January 17th, officers with the county's crime task force spotted a stolen truck traveling on westbound Highway 70 near Highway 79. The truck, driven by Sonny Vincent, 36, refused to pull over for police, investigators said, and continued driving on Highway 70 at a high rate of speed. Officers pursued the vehicle, laying down spike strips near Highway 70 and Route Z.
