Kansas City, MO – A routine traffic stop in Bonner Springs, Kansas, escalated into a multi-agency pursuit that ended safely in Kansas City, Missouri, on October 30, according to the Kansas Highway Patrol.
Authorities said the incident began when Bonner Springs Police initiated a stop for a tinted windshield. The driver allegedly fled immediately, prompting assistance from Kansas Highway Patrol Lieutenant Clark and Trooper Siefert.
Thanks to new body-worn cameras funded by a federal DOJ grant, video footage shows troopers using a barrier wall for protection while deploying Stop Sticks, deflating three of the suspect’s tires and forcing the vehicle to stop in Kansas City, Missouri.
According to officials, the suspect fled on foot but was quickly captured with help from the Missouri State Highway Patrol and the Kansas City, Missouri Police Department. The individual was allegedly found in possession of methamphetamine, had several outstanding felony warrants, and was wanted for involuntary manslaughter.
Authorities credited interagency coordination and training for the safe outcome, emphasizing teamwork across state lines.
