PUEBLO, Colo. (AP) — A woman caught with her two brothers after a nationwide manhunt told Colorado authorities she "deserved to get shot" after pointing a gun at a police chief at the end of the siblings' run from the law, according to a court document.
Lee Grace Dougherty, 29, Dylan Dougherty Stanley, 26, and Ryan Edward Dougherty, 21, are being held in Pueblo County, Colo., on bonds of $1.25 million each. The three made their first court appearance Thursday by video from jail, and none made any statement during the brief hearing.
They face charges of attempted murder of a peace officer and assault on a peace officer. The charges stem from allegations that they shot rounds from an AK-47 at four patrol cars during a chase Wednesday on Interstate 25 in Colorado. The chase ended when troopers deployed spike strips to puncture the tires of the trio's Subaru, and the vehicle rolled and crashed into a guardrail.
According to an arrest affidavit, Lee Dougherty ran from the crash and was shot in the leg by Walsenburg Police Chief James Chamblerlain after she pointed a "machine pistol" at him. The document says she later told police, "I deserved to get shot."
Investigators said that when they asked her about gunfire during the chase, Lee Dougherty said she thought authorities were firing at them. Authorities said they didn't fire at the fugitives' car and believe she might have mistaken the sound of the spike strips for gunshots.
"We weren't trying to hurt anyone; we just wanted them to get back. They were way back and we could barely see them," she said, according to the affidavit. Separate affidavits for the three don't include statements from the brothers.

The chief needs to spend some time at the range. He should have saved the taxpayers a lot of money and wasted the b!tch!!
An intellectually-challenged reporter?
I’s beat Laz to that if I were single.
“An intellectually-challenged reporter?”
Some time ago, they consolidated all those words into the more-convenient term, “journalist”.
I’s beat Laz to that if I were single.IOW, anything in a 2 piece?
YUK!...and I'm 65.
No way! You’ve been here since 1998 and you don’t know who Laz is?
(And I see she must be a plumber between crime sprees)
Give her some points for not having a tramp stamp.
No. Who’s Laz? What’s he famous for?
Her days of bikini sunning beside the waterway are over for a very long time.
Its funny how people call someone like this chunky.m Its like WTF are you all dating twiggy?
Looks like she’s got a tat of a clover leaf.
Yeah, she does. Still, could have been a dragon or a balrog breathing flames down her crack. Moot point now. The guards won’t care one way or the other.
“Its funny how people call someone like this chunky.m Its like WTF are you all dating twiggy?”
Would it be better to say that her BMI index is a little high? She’s not svelte.
She’s curvy, not fat.
White - from Florida. Land of “we’ve got the corner on strange” people
I think they like girls that look like teenage boys.
