BUTLER, Missouri (KMBC) -- An Independence, Missouri, woman and a Smithville, Missouri, man face multiple felony charges after fleeing from law enforcement and throwing items out the window at deputies.
The Linn County, Kansas, Sheriff's Office requested assistance from the Bates County, Missouri, Sheriff's Office with a pursuit that was entering Bates County on 52 Highway.
The chase moved into Butler, Missouri, reaching speeds of 80-100 mph. As deputies pursued the vehicle, the passenger began throwing multiple items out the window, including flashlights and canned vegetables.
One of the cans struck a deputy's vehicle, shattering the windshield.
As the suspects continued to flee, they struck a sheriff's truck head-on at Austin and Broadway streets in Butler.
Shelby McGee, 28, of Independence, was driving the vehicle. She has active warrants out of Clay County for larceny and first-degree burglary. Her bond is $75,000.
Clad Thompson, 30, of Smithville, was the passenger. He also has active warrants out of Clay County for property damage and first-degree burglary. His bond is $100,000.
After the pursuit, deputies found multiple bags of a "white crystalline substance" in the vehicle.
The sheriff was taken to the hospital for evaluation after his hand was injured during the arrest.
"This was teamwork with Butler Police Department, Linn County Sheriff's Office and the Bates County Sheriff's Office," Bates County Sheriff Chad Anderson said in a news release. "Tonight we stopped a dangerous pursuit and took career criminals off the street."

Can’t wait to see Donut Operator’s take on this one.

Seems like maybe they should have thrown out the “white crystalline substance” at the same time as the other items.
Guilty, career criminals. Throw the book at ‘em Dano.
“including flashlights”

Assault w/batteries?
She doesn’t look like the type to needlessly throw food out the window.
She sure don’t look like Faye Dunaway.
Looks like she could stand to lose a few pounds doing hard labor.
Well, neither did Bonnie Parker.
Those cans of food are probably all expired dates, so she didn’t consider it a great sacrifice.
“She doesn’t look like the type to needlessly throw food out the window.”
LOL! My first thought, too! She’s obviously a good Meth Saleswoman - it doesn’t look like she uses the product she sells, anyway. If she were, she’s be a LOT thinner...and less, ‘toothsome,’ as it were. ;)
Booger & Clod?
Two young lovers with nothing better to do....
My Homeboy, Steve Miller. *HEART*
‘Booger & Clod?’
Well, it IS Missouri. ;)
That movie is a MASTERPIECE. I never ‘tire’ of it. :)
WHO WILL PICK THE VEGETABLES?
Release.... the CANNED CORN!
