A Kansas City man is facing a felony resisting arrest charge and a litany of traffic violations after fleeing a traffic stop on Interstate 70, jumping from his moving van and allegedly ditching a revolver Friday night in Cooper County.

Christopher Eugene Bartlett, 43, was driving a minivan eastbound when he passed Trooper Nathan Wallace in the median at the 93-mile marker around 10:20 p.m. Wallace started following Bartlett after he cut off a tractor trailer without signaling, Wallace wrote in a probable cause statement.

Wallace checked Bartlett’s license plate, which belonged to a different car, so he tried to pull Bartlett over at the 97-mile marker, Wallace wrote. Bartlett kept driving and exited onto Highway 135 going south. He pulled into an abandoned parking lot and jumped from the minivan while it was still moving, Wallace wrote.

Wallace and a K-9 eventually caught him. Bartlett was being held Monday in the Cooper County Jail. He faces a charge of felony resisting arrest and five misdemeanors for traffic violations. He was already facing felony charges in Pettis County for domestic assault, armed criminal action and delivery of illegal drugs.
