On Sept. 16, Columbia Police arrested Tori A. Rose, 31, of Columbia on multiple felony warrants, including a federal warrant from the United States Marshal Service. Prior to his arrest, Rose had active state warrants for first degree burglary, domestic assault, stealing, tampering with a motor vehicle, two counts of felony resisting arrest and a federal weapons charge.
At approximately 2:02 p.m. on Sept. 16, officers went to investigate a report of a burglary in the 400 block of College Ave. and observed the wanted suspect as a person of interest. Rose initially fled in a vehicle, and then continued to flee on foot into the apartments in the area.
When officers attempted to make contact with Rose, he barricaded himself in the residence. Officers proceeded to request additional resources which included members of the Violent Crimes Task Force, Crisis Negotiations Team, Street Crimes Unit, K-9 unit, Criminal Investigations Division and the Boone County Sheriff’s Department.
The BearCat, a personal protective vehicle, was also positioned at the scene. After approximately two and a half hours of negotiations with the Patrol and Street Crimes Units and several rounds of tear gas being deployed, Rose surrendered.
