You make prison sound like a health club retreat.

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.

In five seconds you saved a life.
And you get NO headlines for it.
Even if she is ugly with a hot bod. Somebody needs to give credit where credit’s due around here....
Thank you....Laz is scum.
Wow. I am, of course, honored.
I frequently tell people about Cornville - there are actually two people from work who retired and moved to Cornville (18 months apart, too), and I had amusing conversations with them about McCain's supposed "Sedona" ranch. I've often spoken with pride about our FReep in the desert.
Things have been in the 80's up here, occasionally in the low 90's. I've been playing ALOT of golf this year.
Other than that, it's just working, going home, working, going home...
Both of my boys are still in AZ, though. One still in PV, the other in Flagstaff now.
She'll lose a little weight in prison. Might clean up well.
A piker. Knows nothing about providing aid, comfort and guidance to a poor, misguided young maiden.
As DainBramaged and Cyber Liberty have been known to do, all you poor, misguided young maidens out there...just to be clear.
You’re welcome, Dain.
Almost missed that. Hell, it ain't like I moved to freakin' IDAHO...
You have described my life. It's great!
Well, of course.
Gotta scoot. Give my best to the lovely lady.
there fixed it for you

“Heh. You can find kewl stuff like that and still claim to know nothing of this Laz person.”
I prolly crossed paths with Laz but I don’t remember the names of Freepers. I type less now and post more pics.
Nodding in agreement....
Yesterday, the day of the capture, my son and I were returning to Texas after visiting my daughter and her family in Wyoming. We were driving south on I-25 and saw several police cruisers from various jurisdictions northbound. In a while, traffic backed up. When we reached the cause of the backup, there was a small white car with Florida plates, straddling the median. Several Colorado state troopers were on the scence, and a forensics team was working on the car. We had heard about the Doughterys capture on the radio and realized we were viewing their vehicle. Just passing on this almost eyewitness account for anyone interested.
Yes he is. But you didn’t hear me say that.
