The Fort Madison Police Department started an investigation and notified other local law enforcement agencies of the stolen vehicle and vehicle description.

On the evening of November 1, 2017, an officer with the Keokuk Police Department attempted to make a traffic stop on Haage but he refused to stop, which lead to a pursuit into Clark County, Missouri.

Lee County then reported a few minutes later the vehicle stopped at 2259 hours, on East Taylor Street in Alexandria, Clark County, Missouri, and Haage exited the vehicle and fled on foot.   Haage was located at 2300 hours, and detained until Clark County Deputies arrived at 2312.
