No charges will be filed in last Wednesday’s crash and subsequent police chase involving an animal control vehicle, police said Monday.

A motorist fled the scene at Clinton Parkway and Crestline Drive after striking an animal control vehicle at approximately 4:10 p.m.

Sgt. Trent McKinley of the Lawrence Police Department said the animal control officer was stopped westbound at a red light when she heard the sound of tires screeching. She observed the motorist’s car stopping just short of hitting her. The animal control officer pulled forward slightly before feeling a “bump” on the rear end of her truck.

The motorist then left the scene, prompting the animal control officer to follow her onto Kansas University’s west campus while relaying the location to dispatchers. An officer then arrived on scene and attempted to stop the fleeing vehicle.

McKinley said the driver did not respond to the officer’s lights and siren, resulting in a brief chase that eventually ended several minutes later in a residential neighborhood near Clinton Parkway and Lawrence Avenue.

The driver appeared disoriented, McKinley said, and the medical personnel on scene determined she needed treatment. She was then taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital.

A citation was not issued. Based on the “totality of the circumstances,” police are not recommending charges, McKinley said.
