***THREE POLICE PURSUITS RESULT IN A CRASH AND TWO MANHUNTS***

Two agencies require a lot of KC-MO taxpayer-subsidized police helicopter services.

The first chase was in LIBERTY, MO. about 12:15 am and the pursuit ends when the suspect vehicle crashes into a gas meter near M-291 & Ruth Ewing. The driver flees and a manhunt with helicopter ensues. No word if the suspect-driver was caught.

The second and third chases occurred within about 20 minutes of each other.

The 2nd was in eastern JOHNSON COUNTY, MO. when a vehicle being chased by Knob Noster police crashed "about 2 miles east of M-23 on N.E. 175" road just before 2 AM. One of the vehicle's occupants was reportedly ejected from the vehicle- losing an arm according to EMS. He was flown by a Columbia, MO.-based medical copter to an unknown destination. No word on the 2nd occupant.

The third chase started a short time later when the driver of a black Chevy pickup reportedly tried to run over a Lake Winnebago cop.
The chase went north on M-291- speed reported at "100 m.p.h.." The chase stops and the driver bailed-out and ran north of M-150 and M-291. Shortly thereafter- shots were fired but apparently no one struck and no word who fired the shots.
The manhunt of the driver - using the KC-MO police helicopter for nearly 4 hours - continues as of 7 am..
