Marty D. Stowe, a parole violator who allegedly led several police agencies on a 30-minute chase through three counties before the car crashed Friday, is in a Topeka hospital, a Douglas County spokeswoman confirmed Monday.

A woman who was riding in the car with Stowe also is in a hospital, law enforcement officials said.

But officials declined to say on Monday how serious their injuries were.

After the crash, a police radio broadcast that there were two “code reds,” an indication of serious medical injuries.

Sgt. Trent McKinley said the vehicle, a Chevy Impala, sustained heavy damage in the crash and that Stowe, 43, and his passenger were trapped inside the car.

Stowe, whose family is from Lawrence, had been staying at the Airport Motel just north of Lawrence with his girlfriend for a few days, Patrick Hawse, a motel clerk, said Monday.

On Friday about 6:30 p.m., a Lawrence police officer who had been searching for Stowe spotted a car at the Airport Motel, 1493 U.S. Highway 40, that he believed to be associated with Stowe, McKinley said.

Because the motel is a few hundred feet outside the city limits, the officer called the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office and asked for assistance. He then proceeded to monitor the situation at the motel, McKinley said.

When the deputy arrived, the officer reported that Stowe and another person had gotten into the silver 2007 Impala and were driving southbound on East 1500/North Seventh Street.

The deputy tried to stop the vehicle but the car sped off. The police officer joined in the pursuit, McKinley said.

When the Impala turned west on North Street, it clipped a deputy who tried to stop him, injuring him, McKinley said.

The deputy’s injuries were not serious, and he was still able to join in the pursuit, said Sgt. Kristen Dymacek, a spokeswoman for the sheriff’s office.

Police chased Stowe on several paved and unpaved roads in Douglas, Jefferson and Shawnee counties.

The car was heading east on N.E. 39th Street when the driver lost control on a curve at the intersection of Detlor Road in Jefferson County.

The Kansas Highway Patrol is conducting the accident investigation.

Stowe had been convicted in 2010 for possession of opiates, opium or narcotic drugs, theft of less than $25,000 and burglary of a building not used as a dwelling, said Adam Pfannenstiel, Kansas Department of Corrections spokesman.

He received probation but then in 2012 he was charged with theft of less than $1,000, possessing stolen property valued at less than $25,000, and burglary of a motor vehicle.

Stowe’s probation was revoked, and he was sentenced to prison in 2012, corrections department records show.

Stowe was assigned to a work release program and was written up several times for having tobacco contraband, according to the records.

Stowe was released in June but on July 23 he was reported as “absconded,” which meant he failed to report to the parole office, Pfannenstiel said.

A warrant was issued for his arrest.

On Monday the corrections department issued a new warrant that will serve to hold Stowe until the various law enforcement agencies decide whether to file more charges, Pfannenstiel said. Even if no charges are filed, Stowe is facing more prison time because of the parole violation.
