HANNIBAL, Mo. — A Hannibal man faces drug charges after he unsuccessfully fled from officers in a vehicle.

Officers with the Hannibal Police Department attempted to stop a vehicle at 5:39 a.m. Sunday, May 29, in relation to a drug investigation initiated by the Anti-Crime Enforcement Squad. The vehicle fled from the officers, and the driver went to a residence in the 1600 block of Hope Street.

The Hannibal Police Special Response Team was activated and executed a search warrant at the residence.
