A Baxter Springs woman is arrested after a police pursuit from Parsons to Pittsburg.

 

Parsons Police Corporal Kyle Shields was dispatched to a 911 call of a woman saying she was going to be killed. The caller was identified as 39-year-old Amanda Frost, who had her 4-year-old child in the vehicle with her. Frost told Corporal Shields there were men on the Municipal building trying to kill her. She told officers that she and her child are okay to die but wanted to spend one more night together. Cpl. Shields discovered that Frost had a history of narcotics use. Before officers could get her to exit the vehicle Frost fled from the scene.

Once inside the city limits of Pittsburg, officers were able to get tire deflation tools deployed to end the pursuit. Frost refused to exit the vehicle and officers had to break a window to get her out. Frost was taken into custody and faces charges of felony fleeing, aggravated child endangerment, driving under the influence of drugs, and multiple driving violations.
