A high-speed chase through Columbia Wednesday ended with a major police search near the Veterans United campus.
Boone County deputies say it began after a morning burglary on East St. Charles Road, where a rifle was stolen.
Investigators identified the suspect as 25-year-old Devin Taylor.
Around noon, deputies spotted him near Buttonwood Drive but when they tried to stop his car, he took off.
The nine-minute chase ended when Taylor crashed, then ran into the woods near Veterans United with a rifle.
The area went into lockdown, including nearby schools.
Taylor was caught about 30 minutes later and taken to a hospital for evaluation.
Deputies say the stolen rifle was recovered.
