Man Crashes into Sewer, Leaves Scene, Has Meth Ingredient, Slugs Inmate

A St. Louis County man drove off the road April 19 at Oak Berry Court and damaged a sewer before driving off, according to a St. Charles County Sheriff’s Department report.

When Sheriff’s deputies pulled over Jayson Crisel, 39, of Overland, they said he also had 48 tablets cold tablets containing pseudoephedrine in his car, an ingredient used to make methamphetamine.

While at the St. Charles County Department of Corrections, Crisel was coming out of the bathroom when he struck a handcuffed inmate in the eye. When asked why he struck the inmate, Crisel said he thought he knew him.

Crisel is being charged with possessing chemicals with intent to make meth, leaving the scene of an accident and third-degree assault.

Oak Berry Court is just west of St. Peters near the Ohmes Road and Birdie Hills Road intersection in unincorporated St. Charles County.
