Stoker returned to Randolph County

<p dir="ltr"><span>After four days on the lam, and another seven in a Missouri jail cell, 34-year-old Jason Michael Stoker was returned to Randolph County late Wednesday night.</span>

<p dir="ltr"><span>Randolph County Sheriff Shannon Wolff confirmed Stoker, of Chester, was booked into the County Jail, where he has a bond of $250,000 on a charge of aggravated fleeing and eluding a peace officer.</span>

<p dir="ltr"><span>Stoker reportedly waived his extradition rights, clearing the way for his return. He was captured Nov. 2 in St. Louis after a "multi-agency" operation, according to previous statements made by Randolph County State's Attorney Jeremy Walker.</span>

<p dir="ltr"><span>Stoker is alleged to have failed to pull over for Chester Police Department Officer James Brockmeyer on Oct. 28 and the ensuing pursuit resulted in Brockmeyer's single-vehicle, rollover accident on Palestine Road that fatally injured the officer and volunteer firefighter.</span>

<p dir="ltr"><span>Brockmeyer, 22, was laid to rest on Nov. 4, with more than 85 law enforcement, fire and first responder agencies paying their respects at his funeral services.</span>

<p dir="ltr"><span>He was only 10 months into his career as a police officer, a longtime dream of his.</span>
