A man with ties to Boone County and the Lake of the Ozarks area has a history of repeated run-ins with the law.
Alexander E. Nolan, 26, was arrested after a more than two-hour standoff occurred Tuesday night at an Ashland duplex on James Court.
According to a Facebook post from the Ashland Police Department, officers tried to contact Nolan in the 900 block of James Court around 9:30 p.m. Tuesday, because he had a full extradition no-bond probation violation warrant.
Ashland Police informed Nolan they were there to serve him a warrant for his arrest; however, he refused to come out, the post states. According to online court records, Nolan is charged with aggravated fleeing from a traffic stop from an incident back in November.
More than a dozen law enforcement officers – which included Ashland police and Boone County deputies – were at the scene. An Ashland police officer said someone had a warrant out of Camden County.
Nolan walked out of the home and was detained by police just before midnight. Law enforcement used a loudspeaker to convince Nolan to come out of the home. He was taken into custody.
Law enforcement at the scene said Nolan is also from Camden County, but did not give any additional identifying information about him.
Police had put up tape around 11:30 p.m.
A man was seen walking out of a home Tuesday, Aug. 5, 2025, on James Court in Ashland after a standoff lasted roughly two hours.
Nolan has had a record of several traffic and drug-related charges across multiple counties. Nolan was previously charged in November 2024 for aggravated fleeing a stop in Osage Beach.
Court documents report that a passenger was seen leaving a Casey’s with a case of beer and entering Nolan’s white truck. An Osage Beach Police Officer followed Nolan to monitor his driving when Nolan sped up and drove down the middle of the road.
The officer turned on his lights to begin a traffic stop and Nolan sped off, running a stop sign at the intersection of Beach Parkway and Redbud Road and later running a stoplight at the intersection of Osage Beach Parkway and Passover Road.
Nolan hit a roundabout and a mailbox. Nolan abandoned the truck and jumped a fence to hide in a nearby apartment, where he later surrendered to officers. Empty alcohol containers were also found in the car.
Nolan was later arrested and released on bond several times. A recent bond order from April 15 required him to use a breathalyzer to monitor his alcohol consumption, which Nolan allegedly failed to follow on July 20. The courts revoked his bond on July 24 and issued an arrest warrant, leading to Nolan’s arrest on Tuesday.
Nolan is being held in the Boone County Jail on no bond.
