According to court records, Kansas City police were dispatched to the area of 51st and Hedges in Kansas City on Feb. 19, 2020 in the evening and observed a man sitting in the driver’s seat of a Chevrolet Tahoe. A woman there said he had attempted to strike her with the vehicle. Officers pursued the suspect, who refused to stop and failed to observe a posted stop sign. The suspect’s vehicle reached high rates of speed and placed the public in danger. At 47th and Raytown Road, the suspect’s vehicle struck a gray 2005 BMW. The driver of the BMW was injured, as well as a 3-year-old child in the vehicle, who was in a child safety seat. The defendant acknowledged he had been drinking and a test of his blood showed an elevated alcohol level.

Prosecutors requested a bond of $100,000.
