Update: Charges filed in kidnapping and pursuit that ended in Bates County
Bond was set at $25,000 cash only.
Additional charges are being reviewed by the Jackson County Prosecutor’s Office.
** Original Story**
On 7/9/2023 at approximately 10:15pm the Bates County Sheriff’s Office was notified by the Cass County Sheriff’s Office of a female reporting that her daughter had been abducted in the Kansas City area and had sent a text message to her mother identifying her two abductors and the vehicle. Cass County Sheriffs Office initially advised the last known location was on I-49 North of Archie. A short time later they advised the vehicle would be around the Adrian area on I-49.
At approximately 1020pm a Trooper with the Missouri State Highway Patrol and a Bates County Deputy observed the suspect vehicle in the Passaic area as it traveled into the construction zone on I49. The Trooper and Deputy coordinated together on determining the safest location to initiate a traffic stop. The Trooper attempted to initiate a traffic stop on the vehicle at 52 Highway and I-49.
The vehicle failed to pull over and the pursuit traveled west on 52 Highway from Butler. The vehicle then traveled north on County Road 2001. A deputy then took over the pursuit with the intent to utilize the Grappler on the vehicle when it was at a safe place to do so. Because of the road condition and visibility the deputy did not deploy the Grappler.
The pursuit continued northbound until it reached TT Highway where it traveled eastbound back toward Business 49. The Sheriff and several other deputies were called from home to assist in the pursuit. Sheriff Anderson was able to successfully deploy spike strips on TT Highway just before Business 49.
The vehicle traveled northbound on Business 49 toward Passaic where its tires began to lose tread. Just south of Passaic two deputies utilized their vehicles to pin the vehicle in and brought it to a stop.
The vehicle then broke free and attempted to continue to flee the stop. As Sheriff Anderson was approaching the stop he observed the vehicle break free at which point the Sheriff utilized his patrol truck and performed a PIT maneuver pushing the vehicle to the side of the road where all three patrol vehicles could box it in and bring the vehicle to a permanent stop.
Two male occupants where extracted from the front of the vehicle and the female was rescued from the rear. One male was a 17 year old and was turned over to the Juvenile Office. The driver, a twenty year old from Kansas City Kansas was taken to the Sheriff’s Office pending formal charges.
The victim was transported to the Hospital where she was met by the Bates County Victim Advocate and reunited with her family.
A search of the vehicle revealed that they were armed with a loaded Draco Ak47 Pistol. The suspect vehicle was towed from the scene. One patrol vehicle received moderate damage but was driven away from the scene.
“The investigation is in its early stages. First thing in the morning the detectives will be assigned to the case and will work with the victim, her family and the Prosecutors Office to file the appropriate charges. The Victims Advocate’s Office will continue to work with the victim to make sure she has everything she needs to help” Said Sheriff Anderson.
“Tonight law enforcement from multiple agencies worked together, additional dedicated deputies also responded from home, so we could make sure this family’s 18 year old daughter made it home. These deputies and trooper involved showed tremendous courage and potentially saved a life tonight”.
