Two Lawrence men were arrested Wednesday night on suspicion of abandoning a still-moving stolen truck and leaving the scene of an accident, along with several other offenses, following an incident outside Royal Crest Lanes, 933 Iowa St.
Terrance James Beers, 33, and Geoffry Scott Beers, 37, were booked into Douglas County Jail after police arrested them while investigating the theft of a white 2003 Ford F150 pickup truck from the P1 Group, a Lawrence contractor located at 2151 Haskell Ave.

A police officer on patrol spotted the truck about 11 p.m. near Ninth and Michigan streets, said Sgt. Trent McKinley, a Lawrence Police Department spokesman. The officer tried to stop it near Ninth and Highland. The driver fled south on Highland Drive, west on Yale Road, and then into the parking lot of the Royal Crest Lanes bowling alley.
Police say both the driver and a passenger jumped out of the truck while it was still rolling, and the truck hit a parked car. They entered the bowling alley building, which also houses Wayne and Larry's Sports Bar and Grill. Police arrested them inside.
Geoffry Beers was booked on suspicion of reckless driving, obstruction, possession of the stolen truck, possession of marijuana, methamphetamine, and drug paraphernalia, leaving the scene of an accident, and a third-offense charge of driving with a suspended license. He also was detained on two bench warrants from municipal court, and remains in jail on a $10,350 bond.
Terrance Beers was booked on suspicion of possessing stolen property, failure to report an accident and leaving the scene, and obstruction. He was released on a $2,700 bond.

And thus should not be afforded any leniency by our worthless DA or the judges, and that includes dismissing charges such that the remaining one(s) don't fall within the presumptive probation window on the grid.

Tend not to like "automatic" sentence enhancement laws, but these two are tugging on my "three strikes" bone.

Why do some criminals look like crminals? If they had any acting talent, they would be great character actors playing "bad guys." .

Strange how a well thought out plan can fall apart so quickly.

^^thebcman 1 hour, 2 minutes ago Makes perfect sense for two Beers to try to hide in a bar.
Would have liked to seen the cops enter the bar yelling, "Where's the Beers?"
---very nicely done, LOLZ!
sorry, I don't have a good chaser for this one.

---reads like "abandoning a still-moving-truck" is part of kansas statutes, lol.
I guess sometimes the Beers just get more frothy than usual?

Gnome--Re a good chaser -- It would be perfect if they had a sister named Brandy who had played a role in their crazy exploits.

Meth is a horrible drug.
MacHeath 3 months, 3 weeks ago
ok, so these two were released on less bond than the kid that had 28 grams of pot?? Can someone explain that??
otto 3 months, 3 weeks ago
First of all I agree with you, except that kid was charged with having more than 28 grams, hence the felony charge. He could have had 4 pounds.
MacHeath 3 months, 3 weeks ago
so, you think that kid poses a public threat? You would rather have the Beers brothers on the street?
otto 3 months, 3 weeks ago
Evidently you didn't read my comment, I agree with you, you just didn't have the facts down to my satisfaction..

And who is the joker that thought it was funny to cut Geoffry Beer's face and replace it with the face of Ernst T. Bass?
I don't think that is funny at all!

And yet the libs see no problem with the status quo.
MacHeath 3 months, 3 weeks ago
so, explain to me how this issue has anything to do with liberalism... Liberals are responsible for the Beers brothers? These two jokers are dangerous to the public at large. Yet some kid gets spanked hard for having a bag of pot, more that 28 grams (are you happy, Otto), yet these two inbred phoules get out on a pittance for multiple offenses! There is nothing right about that.
otto 3 months, 3 weeks ago
Yes - thank you.
MacHeath 3 months, 3 weeks ago
None of you know who Earnest T. Bass is, do ya? Jeez Louise... Waisting my best material on you lot.

Quit throwin' rocks at the forum windows, Ernest...
MacHeath 3 months, 3 weeks ago
Actually, the liberals had more to do with the sentencing guidelines that the conservatives. Didn't want to be viewed as "soft on crime" by the conservatives. So what the heck are u talking about, Cheeseburger?
These two inbred phoules get out on a pittance on a bond, while a kid with a bag of pot (over 28 grams..u happy Otto?) gets spanked hard. There is nothing right about that.
Ohh crap, we don't want to be viewed as soft on drugs by the conservatives! This political climate as got to change.
MacHeath 3 months, 3 weeks ago
Someone out there, who thinks he has the answers, explain to me why the bond set for the Beers brothers and the bond set for the kid with the bag of pot( i dont care how big the frikin bag was) is right. I mean morally right.
Tell me how that the kid with the pot poses a larger threat that the Beers brothers? Ok, maybe he had intent to sell...I don't care! I'd rather meet him in a dark alley that the Beers brothers!
The political climate in this country has screwed our society all up. Like Pogo said, "we have met the enemy, and he is us!"
Oh yeah, you don't know who Pogo is either. I better get some new material.
