Parsons Police officers were dispatched to a disturbance involving a firearm. The caller identified the suspect as 41-year-old Chasity Marie McRoberts and told dispatch that she had fled eastbound in the alley. Officers arrived in the area and located McRoberts. As officers attempted to stop her, McRoberts attempted to flee on foot. Officers were able to stop her and place her in custody without further incident. During the arrest, a firearm fell out of McRoberts's backpack.
