EARLY SUNDAY MORNING, A KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, fire company was called for a stuck elevator in a downtown building. While they were inside tending to the call, a car came careening around the corner, sideswiped the firetruck, and kept on going.
The FF’s called it in and gave a description of the car which was immediately dispatched to the patrols. Soon, a car matching that description was seen driving erratically along the street and the police gave chase. When the car pulled over, the two men inside were taken down and as the officers were starting to cuff them, one of the passengers tried to tackle one of the cops and the fight was on. The fight was off just as quickly after a police dog latched onto them and convinced the strangers that they should stop.
After talking with the men and the firefighters, the police decided that they had been chasing the wrong car and it wasn’t the one that struck the firetruck. That car hasn’t yet been found, but the two men went to jail anyway.
KCTV Ch. 5 has the video report:
