No one injured during chase

September 18, 2009, 2:40 a.m. Updated September 18, 2009, 4:35 a.m.

A 25-year-old Lawrence woman was arrested after leading police on a car chase through town early Friday morning.

According to Lawrence Police Sgt. Ted Bordman, the incident began about 2 a.m. in the parking lot of Kwik Shop, 1714 W. 23rd St. The woman was driving erratically through the parking lot, which caught another officer's attention. The car the woman was driving had expired tags, so the officer attempted to make a routine traffic stop.

Sgt. Bordman said the woman refused to yield and drove away. The officer pursued the woman, who was reported to be in her early 20s, as she drove through multiple traffic signs. The woman was not driving at a high rate of speed, but continued to refuse to yield. The woman made her way onto the KU campus, driving faster than the posted speed limit. Another Lawrence Police Department officer set a spike strip in front of Strong Hall, 1450 Jayhawk Boulevard. The woman drove over the strip about 2:08 a.m., effectively deflating her tires.

Sgt. Bordman said the woman's vehicle slowed considerably after running over the spike strip and she was eventually stopped at 19th and Maine streets.

According to arrest logs, the woman was arrested for fleeing and attempting to elude officers, driving without insurance, having an open container in the vehicle, reckless driving and obstruction of legal procedure.

Alright weatherboy, you need to re-read the article because the store was Kwik Shop, and the person who wrote the article got it right. I suspect you shouldn't post after a night of drinking. What were you reading/drinking/smoking anyways?

KUweather was correct. The story was updated since his post with the correct location. It was a Kwik Shop, not a Quik Trip.

Oh my…and on a Friday too. I am sure none of you people know the real story so just don't be jumpin to no conclusions. She is a good person that had just fallen on hard times and you shouldn't be judging her. I think I know who this is but it is early in the day so I can't talk bouit just yet. At least she wasn't driving too fast.

Oh man. If this woman's friends or relatives get on here to defend her, I want to change my guess for the 1000000th post to tomorrow @ 5:04 p.m. If this woman happens to have illiterate friends or relatives, my guess will be midnight. If there somehow is a Loveseat with someone's entire life savings stuffed into it plus illiterate friends/relatives plus a crappy blue ford escort, my guess will be today at noon.

shadowbox, you don't get out much, do you? This thread and Roe's previous cut and paste is important in a historical context understood by some of the regulars. Besides don't be picking on someone who very well could be a cousin I never met or knowed about. And it is good to know the prospect of this one getting the I hate Obama/Reid/Pelosi etc or being hit with a Godwin are pretty slim. I appreciate that on Friday.

Chesseburger,
Because the Lawrence Journal World doesn't print the local news. You'll have read the Topeka or Kansas City Star to find out what is happening in Lawrence!!! The information is public information and is given to the newspapers. THE LJWorld just refuses to print it or are selective in what they print.

autie, shouldn't the question to shadowbox have been, “You don't stay in much, do you?”

Heck, I'll cut shadowbox some slack for not knowing the history. Besides, I think most of us regulars probably are retarded to some degree, with some of us more retarded than others.

My only question about the story is, was it a Chevette?

I'm going to offer the theory that Ronda has had this planned all along.

She probably gathered all of her compromising photos of people and put the word out that she had a early guess in on the contest.

She then suggested that if more amazing events suddenly happened in Lawrence, the comment count would spike, and the likelihood of her oddly early time would be more likely to win, since other guesses would be far behind.

Think about it..the backhoe hitting the gas line..the woman driving…just wait. This weekend could be spectacular.
Bring the pets inside and put on your helmets and flack jackets. Might want to pick up some junior mints and a couple of growlers on your way home.

2. points? rofl. Let's head to the play book again, shall we?
3. throw seriousness out the window completely, then you shall everything will make sense. This is easier after booze, pain and a lack of sleep. Being over 29 really help.

But everybody likes the fun, everybody. First we have fun to please our father. Then we have fun to get the girls and…well never mind. I'm listening to the local high school football.
